Despite missing the latest practice, Wheeler (undisclosed) will be in action against the Golden Knights on Friday, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler's top-line spot in practice was occupied by Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body). This helped the Jets evaluate the injured winger further, while affording Wheeler some extra rest between games. It's been another terrific campaign for the towering winger, as he's compiled 12 goals and 57 assists through 60 games -- only Nikita Kucherov of the Lightning has more apples than Wheeler based on a 70-count bushel.

Wheeler's 12th goal of the year was the game-winner in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler also assisted on center Mark Scheifele's empty-net goal while going plus-2 with three shots. Wheeler had gone without a point in his previous two games for only the second time this season, but the proverbial drought is over. Wheeler has 67 points in 56 games in another outstanding season.

Wheeler found the back of the net in Tuesday's loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler logged a season-high 8:23 of ice time with the man advantage Tuesday, but failed to convert on any of his power-play opportunities. Still, the elite winger managed to register a goal to extend his point streak to four games. The 32-year-old is on pace to best his 91 points from last season and could challenge for the 100-point mark.

Wheeler recorded an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The helper gives Wheeler nine assists and 12 points in 11 games this month (January). With only nine goals in 2018-19, the Jets' captain has had to rely heavily on assists to stay relevant and has done a masterful job with 53 through 50 games. Wheeler's career-low shooting percentage (6.4) is mildly concerning, though his owners will likely ignore it, provided Wheeler keeps racking up assists like this.

With only nine goals in 2018-19, the Jets' captain has had to rely heavily on assists to stay relevant and has done a masterful job at it with 53 through 50 games. His career-low 6.4 shooting percentage is mildly concerning, though his owners will look beyond it so long as Wheeler continues to rack up assists at his current pace.

Wheeler scored a goal and added three assists to record his second game of the season with at least four points in a 7-4 victory against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It was nice to see Wheeler score, but him adding more assists isn't at all a surprise. The 32-year-old is averaging more than an assist per game and that average increased Tuesday. He now has 48 assists with seven goals in 42 games. Last season, Wheeler led the league with 68 assists, and he's only 20 short of that mark with about half the season left. Owners would like to see more goals, but you can't beat Wheeler's assist production.

Wheeler notched a helper against the Stars on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

While he has just one goal in his last 12 appearances, Wheeler has racked up 13 assists over that stretch, including three recorded with the man advantage. The world-class winger could be in danger of missing the 20-goal mark for the first time since the lockout shortened 2012-13 campaign if he doesn't start tickling the twine soon.

Wheeler was the point man on all three Nikolaj Ehlers goals, helping his team earn a 5-3 win over San Jose on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler has been an assist machine all season, and he's now over 40 for the campaign. Wheeler has been the main cog that fires the Jets' attack all season, and his boatload of assists more than makes up for his lack of goals. He should be a fixture in your lineup.

Wheeler picked up three assists in Thursday's 6-5 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler logged 22:29 of ice time Thursday. In addition to his three assists, Winnipeg's captain fired three shots on goal and posted a plus-4 rating. The 32-year-old American now has 28 assists and 32 points on the season.

Wheeler factored into all five Jets goals in their 5-2 home win over the Avalanche on Friday. He scored once and amassed four helpers -- with two apples on the man advantage -- and reached the 400-assist milestone in the process.

EDGE Analysis

Basically, you needed to have Wheeler in order to cash in some of the smaller DFS tournaments or single-game contests. One of the elite passers in the league, the brawny winger has an active nine-game point streak with a whopping 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) over that span.
