It was Connor's sixth career hat trick.
“You’re the recipient of a nice pass on the first one from Gabe. And then the next, just kind of being in the right spot, where the bounces just seem to be goin the right way. Especially early. We’ve had those nights, like the other night, where we’re hitting posts and they’re not going in. So just one of those nights where I was able to bury a couple," said Connor.

"They're (Jets) too good of a team to give them a lead like that," said Vancouver winger Connor Garland afterward.
"It's a tough way to go." Canucks Head Coach Rick Tocchet was succinct in his assessment following the game.
"Three major blunders right? I didn't actually mind the first. But the three mistakes in the net. That's a good hockey club over there (Jets) and then obviously everybody on our team had a tough night," he said.
