Wheeler scored a short-handed goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
His tally late in the first period ended up being the game-winner, while Wheeler's set-up of a Patrik Laine's blast early in the third was his 30th point of the season and his 616th as a Jet. That's a big deal -- he's now the all-time franchise scoring leader, topping the mark set by Ilya Kovalchuk in Atlanta before the team moved north.

Wheeler had two assists and three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler has picked up at least one point in nine of his last 11 games, with four goals and 12 assists during that stretch. He has five points (one goal, four assists) in his last two games alone and is enjoying yet another productive season at age 33. He may not be able to replicate the 91 points he produced in each of the previous two seasons, but Wheeler's 28 points in 34 games still puts him on pace to land in the neighborhood of 70.

EDGE Analysis
Wheeler drew an assist on Nikolaj Ehler's opening goal before scoring a power-play goal of his own at 10:34 of the second period to give Winnipeg a 3-1 lead. He'd cap his night off with a power-play assist on Mark Schiefele's 15th goal of 2019-20. The 33-year-old has 26 points through 33 games. Wheeler has been particularly hot of late, putting up 14 points over his previous 10 contests.

Wheeler collected a power-play assist in a 3-2 win over the Ducks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler assisted on Mark Scheifele's power-play goal at the 15:38 mark of the third period. The goal would stand as the game-winner. Winnipeg's captain has yet to score a goal with the man advantage this season but has produced five assists. Coming off consecutive 91-point campaigns, Wheeler is behind that pace in 2019-20, with 21 points in 30 games following Sunday's win.

Wheeler netted a goal on seven shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler's goal came at 1:38 of the third period, dribbling into the net off Ben Bishop's shoulder. The 33-year-old forward is up to 20 points this season, including eight in his last six games. Wheeler has added 75 shots on goal and 53 hits. His recent success suggests he's shaken off a slow start to the campaign.

Wheeler recorded an assist against Dallas on Tuesday, his sixth helper in his last five games.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler may have just one goal in his last 14 games, but he continues to compile assists playing in a second-line role alongside Nikolaj Ehlers and Jack Roslovic. Given his offensive production, coach Paul Maurice could decide to keep Wheeler off the top line once Bryan Little (ear) is ready to return.

Wheeler notched two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old is on a roll, picking up six points (one goal, five helpers) over the last three games. Wheeler's overall six goals and 18 points through 26 games are disappointing considering he's coming off back-to-back 91-point campaigns, but one prolonged hot streak and he'll be right back to his usual pace.

Wheeler had two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler had a cross-ice feed to Patrik Laine for the Jets' first goal of the game in the first period. Wheeler then sprung Jack Roslovic as the latter exited the penalty box in the second period for the 4-1 goal. Wednesday marks Wheeler's third multi-point outing in the last five games. The 33-year-old has 16 points, 65 shots on goal, 49 hits and 14 PIM in 25 contests this season.

Wheeler collected a goal and an assist with four shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler snapped his nine-game goal drought when he got the Jets on the board midway through the third period, his first tally since Nov. 1. He also picked up a helper for his second two-point performance in the last four games. It's been a quiet start for a player coming off back-to-back 91-point seasons, but Wheeler might slowly be working his way out of it.
