Top Winnipeg Jets prospect Kyle Connor is on some kind of roll in the American Hockey League.

The 20-year-old, who was the team’s first pick of the 2015 NHL Draft, was named the AHL player of the week Monday after he scored six goals and added two assists in four games.

Connor led the Moose to a 2-1-1 record.

Connor, who had a goal and three assists with the Jets before getting sent down after 19 games in the NHL, has recorded 10 goals and 13 points in the last nine days.

Connor was the leading scorer in all of U.S. college hockey last season while playing at the University of Michigan.

He scored three goals in the pre-season and cracked the Jets roster after training camp, but struggled with the physical and defensive aspects of the game before joining the Moose.

He is now second on the Moose in scoring with 18 goals and 31 points in 38 games. He leads the Moose in goals and is tied for sixth among all AHL rookies in goal scoring.

The Moose kick off an eight-game homestand on Thursday night when the Charlotte Checkers visit MTS Centre.
