After their most complete game of 2025, the Vancouver Canucks fell 6–1 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. Winnipeg’s goal scorers were Kyle Connor (3), Neal Pionk, Nino Niederreiter, and Mark Scheifele.

Kyle Connor scored a natural hat trick in the first period to spark the Winnipeg Jets to a 6-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.

When you’ve got a great game, you’re going to earn a good nickname. Kevin Lankinen doesn’t have a big book of NHL goaltending work to suggest he warrants a memorable moniker — certainly nothing like award-winning Dominik ‘The Dominator’ Hasek or Henrik ‘The King’ Lundqvist — but the quiet and confident Vancouver Canucks stopper does deserve a suitable label.

Kyle Connor scored a natural hat trick in the first period to spark the Winnipeg Jets to a 6-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.

Veteran forward Kyle Connor scored three goals in a span of just 6:38 in the first period, the left-winger's sixth career hat trick, sparking the first-place Winnipeg Jets to a 6-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday at the Canada Life Centre.

Kevin Lankinen has been one of the few bright spots in what's been a tumultuous 2024-25 campaign so far in Vancouver.

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is having an outstanding season and is deservedly right in the thick of the Hart Trophy race.

And after being special for most of the season, Kevin Lankinen was less than ordinary. And so were most of his teammates and especially Vancouver’s top players.

A weekly gauge of the players who are controlling substantial buzz around the league. When a player is included on this list it may not be a good thing -- it means that they are capturing a large amount of the hockey world's attention.

WINNIPEG -- Kyle Connor scored a natural hat trick in a 6:38 span in the first period, and the Winnipeg Jets cruised to a 6-1 win against the Vancouver Canucks at Canada Life Centre on Tuesday.

It's also why Hellebuyck was a unanimous selection to win the Vezina Trophy for the second consecutive season and third time, receiving all 16 first-place votes (80 points) from the NHL.com voting panel. He also was the unanimous pick for the first quarter of the season.

Connor’s hat trick went into the franchise record books behind two former Jets. Blake Wheeler scored three goals in a span of 4:20 in 2017, while Sean Monahan notched his in 5:17 last February.
