Kyle Connor played the role of scoring hero once again, firing the game-winner with just 1:14 left to play as the Winnipeg Jets rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday night.
Bryan Little made a perfect pass from behind the enemy net, finding Connor all alone in the slot. He fired his 22nd of the year to send the crowd at Bell MTS Place into a full-blown roar.
Connor helped rally the Jets Tuesday night in Boston, scoring twice in the third period and then the only goal in the shootout.
Winnipeg improves to 33-16-2 and are now four points ahead of Nashville for first place in the Central.
