Jets Kyle Connor Hits 600 Points: Steady Hands, Quiet Skill

Kyle Connor quietly hit a major milestone this week, racking up 600 career NHL points with the Winnipeg Jets. It’s the kind of achievement that sneaks up on you because Connor isn’t flashy or dramatic. He simply delivers night after night, year after year. At 28 years old, the Shelby Township, Michigan, native has quietly built himself into one of the Jets’ most reliable weapons, combining skill, speed, and a hockey IQ that makes him dangerous in any situation.

Looking at Connor’s Journey Through the Numbers

Connor’s path to 600 points started long before he donned a Jets jersey. After three strong seasons in the United States Hockey League USHL) playing for the Youngstown Phantoms, he spent a season at the University of Michigan. There, he put up 71 points in 38 games. Drafted 17th overall in 2015 by Winnipeg, Connor had a taste of the NHL in 2016-17 but spent much of that season developing in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Manitoba Moose. It didn’t take long, though, for his scoring touch and two-way game to make him a mainstay with the Jets.

Over eight full NHL seasons, Connor has compiled 293 goals and 307 assists in 628 games. His 2021-22 season stands out: 47 goals and 46 assists for 93 points. He’s consistently hit the 60-point mark and beyond in most seasons, and his scoring comes in all situations — power play, even strength, and occasionally shorthanded. He’s a left wing who knows how to find space, pick corners, and support teammates in the rush, and that balance has made him an elite option up front.

Connor Is an Elite Player for the Jets: He’s More Than Just Points

What makes Connor special isn’t just the numbers. He’s durable, reliable, and plays smart hockey. Whether it’s setting up a play for Mark Scheifele or finding the right lane to the net himself, he reads the game better than most. Hitting 600 points is a reminder that steady excellence and smart play are just as vital as highlight-reel goals. For the Jets, Connor is a cornerstone — the kind of player you can count on night in and night out. Quiet milestones, big impact.

That’s Kyle Connor. We congratulate his achievement!
