Winnipeg Jets leading scorer Kyle Connor has been placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Jets announced the move on social media Wednesday. Connor was injured during the second period of Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Ducks when he took a knee from Anaheim defenseman Ryan Strome, who received a game misconduct on the play, but avoided a suspension.
Gabe Vilardi broke a tie with 1:42 left with the third of the Winnipeg Jets' four third-period goals in a 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. Winnipeg rallied after losing scoring leader Kyle Connor to a knee injury in the second period when he took a knee from Ducks defenseman Ryan Strome, who received a game misconduct. The Jets have won four straight and nine of 12, while the Ducks have dropped three in a row and 12 of 13.
Zach Wilson was 27 of 36 for 301 yards — his third career game of 300 or more yards — after sitting in favor of the since-waived Tim Boyle.
Touchdowns, third down conversions and scoring in the red zone were all on display by a New York Jets offense that had struggled to do much of anything all season. “I feel like that pressure that he’s been carrying just didn’t seem to be there," said wide receiver Randall Cobb, who caught one of Wilson’s two TD passes. Wilson, who was benched for two games, was 27 of 35 for 301 yards while setting career highs with a 75% completion rate and a 117.9 passer rating.
C.J. Stroud had the worst game of his young career in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets before leaving with a concussion. Now the Texans must wait and see if the star rookie quarterback can return this week or if they’ll have to start Davis Mills against the Titans. “We’ll see how he progresses,” coach DeMeco Ryans said.
