But their stars still dropped some absolute bangers that lit up the highlights. Guys like Morgan Baron showed growth with a slick, shorthanded breakaway goal against the Colorado Avalanche on December 19th, blowing past kale. A car for his career high, 23 points. Gabrielle Valardi flexed his hands too, tipping in his 100th career goal on a power play versus the Washington capitals in late November. Fans couldn't get enough of the chemistry between Kyle Conner and Mark Schifley, who combined for 75 goals and racked up points on nearly a third of the team's total. Their back and forth magic kept hopes alive with Schifley hitting 100 points first in Jets 2.0 history. Conner and Schifley traded dimes all year, like Conner's backhand saucer to Schifley against

For a tap-in versus Vancouver in late February, Valardi dazzled net front against those same conucks in March, dangling the goalie for a late tie. Conner sealed it as the top moment, roofing a backhand from the goal line against Chicago on October 30th to Isowen, capping his team, 39 goals. Moments like these remind us the talents still there, even in a down year.
