Wheeler notched a trio of assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler's first helper of the game, on a Kyle Connor goal in the second period, got the former to the 500-assist mark in his career. He didn't stay on the round number for long, adding assists on Paul Stastny's game-winner and Mark Scheifele's empty-netter in the third period. Wheeler's always been an effective play-maker (not to discount his scoring touch), and he now has seven points (two goals, five apples) through five contests.

Wheeler scored a goal on two shots and had six PIM in a 4-1 win over Ottawa on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler finished off a pretty passing play with linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor to give the Jets a 4-0 lead with just over six minutes left in the second period. Wheeler has found the net in each of his last two games and has four points through his first four games. The 34-year-old has hit the 20-goal plateau in each of the last seven seasons and has shown no signs of slowing down early in the 2020-21 campaign.

EDGE Analysis
His first goal of the season was a big one, coming with 1:17 left in the third period to tie the score at 3-3 and set the stage for Nikolaj Ehlers' OT heroics. Wheeler now has three points through three games to begin the season, as he looks to regain the point-a-game pace he didn't quite reach in 2019-20 following back-to-back 91-point campaigns.
