Holy sugar, Kyle Connor is scoring highlight reel goals in practice, too. Just a rocket wrist shot on Winnipeg's latest power play drill.

Kyle Connor had a pair of goals against the Devils and now has 13 on the season, tying him with Auston Matthews for the league lead. Is he pushing himself into the Rocket Richard Trophy conversation? More from @jamiemclennan29: https://t.co/0rcSxOsoJP

Kyle Connor's shot was so good you forget how good the Mark Scheifele pass was to set it up.
What a pass from Mark Scheifele. Spins off the wall on the power play and puts a puck on a tee for Kyle Connor. 4-2 #NHLJets. Pretty goal.
