Connor picking up in NHL right where he left off, college teammate says
One of Kyle Connor’s old college buddies isn’t at all surprised the Jets forward is making a name for himself not just as a scorer — he’s now up to 27 goals in his rookie NHL season — but as a guy whose defensive work is trending upward.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Zach Werenski and Connor were teammates at the University of Michigan for one season (2015-16), winning a Big 10 conference championship together before bowing out in the NCAA’s Midwest regionals.
