Jets Forward Kyle Connor Cracks EA Sports' List of Top Left Wingers

by

The popular sporting video game series by EA Sports, NHL 26, is set for a September 12 release for Playstation and XBOX. 

Over the past week, the software developer has begun unveiling its rankings for each different playing position in the game. 

Among those listed within the Top-10 at each position will be a handful of Winnipeg Jets players. 

The first position ranking provided by EA Sports was defenceman Josh Morrissey, who was given a 90 overall rating, ranking him eighth among all blueliners.

The second Jets player to earn a place on the Top-10 position rankings was winger Kyle Connor, who was named the No. 4 left winger in the game.

The 28-year-old forward led all Jets players in goals (41), assists (56) and points (97) last season as he helped Winnipeg to the Presidents' Trophy as the No. 1 team following the conclusion of the regular season.  

His overall rating was up one percentage point from NHL 25 to a 92 overall, ranking him in line with Artemi Panarin, Mitch Marner and William Nylander and only trailing Nikita Kucherov, Kirill Kaprizov, David Pastrnak, Mikko Rantanen, Sam Reinhart and Matthew Tkachuk on the charts among all wingers, left or right. 

No Jets cracked the Top-10 right wingers list, while Winnipeg native and Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone was given an 89 overall ranking, good for 10th place.
