Kyle Connor injured

Not a great way to celebrate your 27th birthday (yesterday) as Jets winger Kyle Connor had to be helped off the ice in Anaheim after he took a knee-on-knee hit by the Ducks Ryan Strome. #NHLJets forward Kyle Connor had to be helped off of the ice after this knee-on-knee hit from Ryan Strome. He didn’t put any weight on his knee and went straight down the tunnel. pic.twitter.com/BiEpUTQkrL — Connor Hrabchak (@ConnorHrabchak1) December 11, 2023 When Connor finally got to his feet he had to be helped off the ice by Nikolaj Ehlers and Josh Morrissey and he didn't put any weight on his right leg. Good on Winnipeg alternate captain Mark Scheifele for dropping the gloves with Strome when he saw 81 hit the ice although his absence was notable during the subsequent five minute major power play. Injury hasn't been a factor much for Connor throughout his career. The Jets announced that Connor was done for the night.
