Wheeler is under the weather and is in doubt for Friday's matchup with San Jose, Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler has recorded 49 points in 58 games this season but will need to pick up the pace if he wants to reach 90 for a third straight year. Based on Thursday's line combinations, Andrew Copp figures to slot into the second-line center role if Wheeler is unavailable.

Wheeler dished out two assists -- one shorthanded -- while skating in 17:06 of ice time in Monday's 3-2 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler was unselfish Monday, dishing his teammate Nikolaj Ehlers back door on a 2-on-0 shorthanded goal in the second period for the game's second goal. Monday's effort leaves Wheeler with 14 goals and 24 assists through 42 games this campaign, as he's racked up seven points in his past five games. His 38 points halfway through the season keep him on pace for at least 70 points for the fifth consecutive season.

Wheeler delivered a goal and assist on the power play Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler is off his usual 90-point production level since he moved to center this season, but in many ways the Jets are better for the move. On the PP, he reunites with former linemate Mark Scheifele and on Saturday, Wheeler made good there. Too bad they lost the game. He's been solid in his last 10 games -- six goals and seven goals. This could be the uptick in performance that leads to a better second half. Hold onto him. Wheeler won't be a 90-point man again, but he could definitely be a point-per-game producer in the second half.

Wheeler scored twice and added an assist with two shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 7-4 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
It was Wheeler's first multi-goal game since opening night, but he's been a consistent point producer all season for the Jets. Wheeler was particularly explosive in December, collecting seven goals and nine assists in 12 games. The 33-year-old continues to play some of his most productive hockey late in his career, putting up 34 points in 40 games this season after back-to-back 91-point campaigns.
