• Jets' Blake Wheeler: Another three-point effort

  15H ago •

  Wheeler scored a goal and supplied two assists in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens. Wheeler set up Kyle Connor on the power play for the Jets' first tally in the second period. Later in the frame, Wheeler scored the game-tying goal. He also helped out on Mark Scheifele's empty-netter to secure the win. Wheeler has picked up six points in the last two games. He's up to six goals, 14 assists, 42 shots on net, 22 PIM and 20 hits through 19 contests. At 34 years old, Wheeler continues to pile up offense, so he's a near-lock for virtual lineups.

• Jets' Blake Wheeler: Distributes trio of helpers

  5D ago •

  Wheeler posted three assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks. Wheeler played provider for his linemates, setting up both of Pierre-Luc Dubois' goals as well as a tally from Mark Scheifele. That trio of forwards combined for nine points in the contest in their first game together. Wheeler is up to five goals, 12 helpers, 40 shots on net, 20 hits and 20 PIM through 18 contests this season. Should Dubois remain on the top line, Wheeler's production could bump up slightly.

  Wheeler scored a goal and supplied an assist in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers. Wheeler's assist came on a Mark Scheifele power-play goal in the first period. After nine additional goals between the teams, Wheeler struck at 6:22 of the third period to put the Jets ahead for good.

The one knock on Wheeler's performance so far is a rather unsightly minus-10 rating -- in his previous 12 campaigns, he's never finished worse than minus-4.
