Kyle Connor’s Trajectory Will Surprise You! | Must-Win vs. Preds

There are 82 games in an NHL season -- but some carry more weight than others. What may look like a routine matchup on the schedule can quickly turn into a pivotal moment, and Tuesday night’s game is exactly that. The Winnipeg Jets host the Nashville Predators at Canada Life Centre in a crucial Western Conference showdown. Nashville sits just one point ahead of Winnipeg, while the Jets remain five points back of the Seattle Kraken for the final playoff spot. If Winnipeg wants its final 16 games to mean anything, this is a game it simply has to win. Cam and Jim tee up the matchup and dive into the biggest storylines surrounding the Jets -- including the play of Kyle Connor. With Patrick Kane climbing to fourth all-time among U.S.-born goal scorers, where does Connor project on that list? The answer may surprise some. After a contentious previous appearance that sparked plenty of buzz, Ross Levitan of 680 CJOB returns with more strong takes on the Jets’ season and where the team is headed. Plus, George Parros defends the five-game suspension handed to Radko Gudas for a knee-on-knee hit that ended the season of Auston Matthews. All that and more on today’s edition of Jets at Noon.
