Kyle Connor's hat trick helps Jets down Canucks for 5th straight victory

Kyle Connor liked the way a new Winnipeg Jets top line was clicking on Sunday.

Connor had a hat trick while being teamed up with centre Pierre-Luc Dubois and Nikolaj Ehlers in Winnipeg's 7-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks that stretched their NHL win streak to five games.

Dubois contributed four assists and Ehlers recorded a goal and two assists in his second game back after missing 36 contests because of sports hernia surgery.

"It's just a lot of fun right now and hopefully we just continue to grow. This is Nik's second game back and he's only going to get better, our chemistry is only getting better and, hopefully, the sky's the limit."

Axel Jonsson-Fjallby had a goal and assist and Morgan Barron and Dylan DeMelo, with a short-handed marker, also scored. Brenden Dillon added a pair of helpers in front of 14,206 fans at Canada Life Centre.

Ehlers said he felt more like himself in his second game back, adding Connor and Dubois are easy to play with.

"I told them I might need some help in the first couple games and they did a good job with that," said Ehlers, who was injured in the second game of the season.
