The partners of Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid and forward Leon Draisaitl had a unique team-up of their own.

Kyle Connor scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets won their fourth in a row, 4-1 over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

The NHL odds for the 2024-25 NHL MVP are led by an Edmonton Oiler... but it's not Connor McDavid! Leon Draisaitl has taken over the top spot, with McDavid not even in the Top 3 at some books.

Kyle Connor tilted his head up to the jumbotron and saw the clock winding down. When he looked back down, he spotted an opportunity to score. The Winnipeg Jets‘ star winger chipped the puck in deep and parked himself in the slot.

After a shocking trade, the Hurricanes have elevated their chances of winning the Stanley Cup in the 2024-25 NHL season. Which other teams are contenders?

John Hynes knows that William Nylander can lead the Maple Leafs out of the little hole they’ve dug for themselves. The Leafs have scored just two goals in losing their past two games, and neither came off the stick of Nylander after the star winger had four goals in the previous three games, all Toronto victories.

Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson will be Mikko Rantanen and Mitch Marner. The second tier could include Nikolaj Ehlers, Brock Boeser and Brock Nelson. Though they may be on the older side and not in their timeline, Brad Marchand and John Tavares could hit the open market.
