Kyle Connor had a goal and two assists and the Winnipeg Jets beat the St. Louis Blues 5-3 to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven first-round playoff series.

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.

Connor scored his second-straight game-winning goal to give the Jets a 2-0 series lead over the Blues in Round 1.
