Connor and Scheifele each had three points in Game 1 for the Jets. Connor had the game-winning goal at 18:24 of the third, the primary assist on Scheifele’s power-play goal in the first and the secondary assist on their linemate Alex Iafallo ’s game-tying goal at 9:18 of the third.

Winnipeg's fans hope Connor will soon take his place at the top of that ranking, as they embark on a lengthy playoff run. If Hellebuyck figures out his playoff woes and Connor starts scoring at an elite level like he can, the Jets might be the ones to break the Presidents' Trophy curse.
