Winnipeg Jets Need Kyle Connor as a Third Option for Playoffs

The Winnipeg Jets have an offense built around Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele on the top line. That line has shuffled in a third member, usually Kyle Connor or Patrik Laine.

Kyle Connor has recently settled in on the second line, alongside newcomer Kevin Hayes and Nikolaj Ehlers. The playoffs aren’t a one-line show, and you’re gonna need some depth scoring.

Kevin Hayes was acquired to help that, and so far he’s doing fine. He had a four point game against Nashville in the clincher, and he’s up to ten points in 13 games.
