Blake Wheeler Tallies Two Points
5 years agoWinnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler registered a goal and added an assist in his team's 3-2 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The Jet's captain posted both of his points on the man advantage and also tallied two penalty minutes and three shots on goal in 18:20 of ice time in the contest. After a surprising slow start to the season (just 7 points in 13 October games), Wheeler has regained top form by rattling off a point-per-game in his last 29 games (10 goals, 19 assists) and appears to have solidified himself as a top-30 fantasy asset once again. Given that's he's also still providing strong peripherals (12 power-play points, 107 shots, 66 hits), make sure he's active in lineups no matter where he's skating in the Jets' lineup.
