Winnipeg Jets left winger Kyle Connor has been recognized by the National Hockey League as its first star for the week ending March 24.
The 22-year-old American led the NHL with eight points – five goals and three assists – in only four games, including his first-ever NHL hat trick against the Nashville Predators March 23.
Connor currently sits third in points on the Central Division-leading Jets, behind all-stars Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele.
This year marks Connor’s second consecutive season with 30 goals or more, and the first time he’s hit the 60-point mark in his three-year career.
The playoff-bound Jets next see action Monday night at Bell MTS Place against the Dallas Stars.
