The Jets are off to a red-hot start and part of the reason for this has been the hot start to the season for Kyle Connor who has nine goals and eight assists for 17 points in 10 games. He has a point in every single game Winnipeg has played this season.
From the NHL:
“Connor (9-8—17 in 10 GP) also collected points in each of his October appearances, setting a franchise record for the longest season-opening point streak while propelling the Jets to the top of the NHL standings via a 9-1-0 month (18 points) – highlighted by an eight-game winning streak to begin the campaign. He started 2024-25 by becoming the first player in League history to score in seven straight season-opening contests (Oct. 9 at EDM) and closed the month by becoming the fifth Jets/Thrashers player – and second-fastest (541 GP), after Ilya Kovalchuk (500 GP) – to reach the 500-point milestone. Connor additionally placed among the October leaders in game-winning goals (t-1st; 3), power-play goals (t-1st; 4), goals (t-3rd; 9) and shots on goal (t-12th; 40). The 2021-22 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy winner finished the month with four straight multi-point outings (a first in his career), including his seventh career four-point performance (Oct. 28 vs. TOR: 2-2—4) and a three-point effort – capped by the decisive goal – in his native Michigan (Oct. 30 at DET: 1-2—3).”
Only two other Jets players being Connor Hellebuyck (3rd Star in December 2023) and Patrik Laine (1st Star in November 2018) have been named a Star of the Month in the prior 13 seasons.
