Connor's Two Power-Play Goals Power Jets Past Red Wings

The Winnipeg Jets are off the mark. Kyle Connor scored twice on the power play and added an assist to lift the Jets to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday — Winnipeg's first win of the young season. Connor was the difference on special teams, converting twice with the man advantage to break open a tight game. Cole Perfetti chipped in a goal and two assists in a lively supporting performance, while Stuart Skinner held the fort with 33 saves as Detroit pressed late. The Red Wings got goals from Viktor Arvidsson and Emmitt Finnie, and John Gibson stopped 24 shots, but it wasn't enough to spoil the Jets' night. After an uneven start to the campaign, Winnipeg will hope their power play clicking into gear is a sign of things to come. Connor's lethal finishing on the man advantage has long been his trademark, and the Jets will need more of it to climb the standings.
