Connor lifts Jets in OT; Laine leaves with lower-body injury

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Kyle Connor scored his second goal of the game 1:37 into overtime to lift the Winnipeg Jets over the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night despite losing Patrik Laine to a lower-body injury.

Connor fired the winner past goalie Jack Campbell to help the Jets set a franchise record for wins at 44 (44-19-10). Winnipeg had 43 wins in 2014-15, and the Atlanta Thrashers hit the same mark in 2006-07 before the franchise relocated in 2011.

Laine was helped down the tunnel to the dressing room about a minute and half into the second period.
