Wheeler returned Thursday with an assist and three hits in 19:43 of ice time against the Maple Leafs after missing six games with a concussion. The Jets lost 5-3.
EDGE Analysis
The concussion is behind him, so get him back in there if you rely on his offense. Wheeler now has 10 goals and 23 assists in 40 games this season. We're hoping his game is suddenly sharp -- Wheeler has just one multi-point game in his last 18.

Wheeler will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against Toronto, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler was medically cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game versus Edmonton, but the Jets decided to hold him out in order to give him a chance to log a few more practices before returning to game action. The 34-year-old winger, who's racked up 10 goals and 32 points in 39 contests this campaign, will return to his usual spots on Winnipeg's top line and first power-play unit Thursday.

Wheeler (concussion) has been medically cleared to play, but he won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Edmonton, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler could have potentially played against the Oilers, but the Jets are off until Thursday following Saturday's contest, so they've elected to give the 34-year-old forward the night off so he can get a few more practices in before returning to action. Expect Wheeler, who's racked up 10 goals and 32 points in 39 games this season, to rejoin the lineup Thursday against Toronto.

Wheeler (concussion) skated Monday prior to practice but remains without a timeline to play, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was the second day in a row that Wheeler was able to get onto the ice, which is certainly a step in the right direction. For now, Andrew Copp continues to fill a top-six role with Wheeler sidelined, though Mason Appleton could challenge for more minutes with a couple of strong performances.

Wheeler is considered out indefinitely with a suspected concussion, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler won't travel with the Jets on their upcoming five-game road trip, so it's safe to assume he'll be sidelined until March 17 against the Oilers at a minimum. The 34-year-old forward has racked up 10 goals and 32 points in 39 games this campaign, so this is a big loss for the Jets and fantasy managers alike. It wouldn't be surprising to see Wheeler surface on injured reserve in the coming days.

Wheeler (undisclosed) took line rushes in warmups and appears set to play Friday versus the Maple Leafs, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler left Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs with an injury suffered in the first period, but he's apparently recovered enough to play Friday. He's expected to work on the second line with Pierre-Luc Dubois and Paul Stastny.

Wheeler (undisclosed) will be a game-time call for Friday night's matchup with Toronto, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler felt good after Friday's morning skate, but his availability against the Maple Leafs still likely won't be confirmed until the Jets take the ice for pregame warmups.

Wheeler (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler was missing from the bench to start the second period, and he's officially been ruled out for the night. The 34-year-old is enjoying another strong season, as he's accrued 10 goals and 31 points through 36 games. Kyle Connor was double-shifting to help fill Wheeler's role on the second line.

Wheeler produced an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler helped out on a Pierre-Luc Dubois goal in the third period. The 34-year-old Wheeler has produced 10 tallies and 21 assists through 36 appearances this season. The winger has added 83 shots on net, 36 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-12 rating. As long as he's in the Jets' potent top six, he'll have plenty of chances to produce offense.

Wheeler scored a goal on three shots and added an assist, both on the power play, in Friday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler opened the scoring at 9:13 of the first period. He also set up Paul Stastny for the game-winning tally in the third. The 34-year-old Wheeler is up to 30 points (13 on the power play), 79 shots on net, 34 PIM and 36 hits in 34 contests. He should have plenty of chances for offense while working on the top line and first power-play unit.
