With Perreault, Connor's absence not a problem for Jets

It's an in-house fix most teams can only dream of.

Kyle Connor, a key part of the Winnipeg Jets top line who's been red-hot of late, was unable to answer the bell Sunday after suffering a lower-body injury while blocking a shot in the previous game.

For most squads, this might pose a bit of a problem. But not these Jets, who simply moved veteran forward Mathieu Perreault off the so-called fourth-line and into Connor's spot to play alongside Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele.

And they didn't miss a beat. The trio combined for nine points in Sunday night's 5-0 laugher over Ottawa.
