Wheeler finished with a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler opened the scoring in the first period and added a helper on Patrik Laine's tally with nine seconds remaining in the final frame. The 31-year-old forward reached the 69-point mark for the fourth time in five seasons with this performance, and he's been on fire recently with three goals and eight assists during an active six-game point streak. However, owners should bear in mind that this was the final chapter of a 10-game homestand, and Wheeler has a pedestrian five goals and 16 assists in 29 road games.

Wheeler set up three goals -- including a power-play assist -- in Sunday's 7-2 home win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler is ranked seventh in the NHL with 67 points (16 goals, 51 assists) through 59 games. His propensity for multi-point games is icing on the cake, and he needs just two more helpers to set a new career high in said category. He'll look to strike fear into the Kings when the Jets welcome them to Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Wheeler found twine twice and set up another goal in a 6-1 rout of Colorado on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler keeps positioning himself just above the point per game average, as he's now notched 64 points in 58 games. He's a big reason why the Jets boast the third-best record in the Western Conference, and he should be a no-brainer in your lineup in all formats.

Wheeler generated a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- in Saturday's 3-0 home win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
This was just another day at the office for Wheeler, who has now accumulated 58 points (14 goals, 44 assists) through 53 games. While he's come close several times, Wheeler's never ended a season with more points than games played, but this very well could be the year.

Wheeler recorded two assists -- one on the power play -- during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The Winnipeg captain had recorded just two assists through his previous six contests, so this was a welcomed bounce-back showing. Wheeler is now up to 56 points through 51 games for the campaign, so with a go-to offensive role and an excellent supporting cast, he projects to take a serious run at the first point-per-game season of his career.

Wheeler has averaged a career-high 3:19 per game on the power play, and he already has 23 points with the extra man in 50 tilts. That is also a career high for him, with plenty of games to spare.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler has been an underrated player, and fantasy option, for many years. However, this power-play explosion makes him even more valuable. The scoring hasn't slowed down either, as in his last 12 games the 31-year-old has seven points with the extra man.

Wheeler extended his point streak to seven games Tuesday against Buffalo, collecting two helpers in a lopsided victory.
EDGE Analysis
While the point streak is impressive, it's also worth noting Wheeler has recorded a point with the man advantage in four straight games. Wheeler has racked up 22 of his 52 points this season on the power play and has been a fantasy goldmine across all formats. The Jets are surging and Wheeler is leading the way, so make sure to get him in your lineup.

Wheeler uncorked two points on the power play Friday -- a goal and an assist -- helping the Jets to a 4-3 home win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The wheel keeps on turning for the 31-year-old power winger, as he's taken his fantasy owners through an astonishing journey toward fantasy hockey greatness. He's now up to 14 goals and 35 assists through 42 games, but that's business as usual for a guy who dialed in campaigns of 78 and 74 points, respectively, leading up to 2017-18. Best of all, Wheeler's already fashioned 20 power-play points and needs just one more man-advantage goal or assist to tie a career high. We just flipped the calendar to 2018, mind you.

Wheeler scored two goals -- one with the man advantage -- during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
The pair of tallies improves the American to a four-game point streak consisting of four goals, two assists and 19 shots. With Mark Scheifele (upper body) out long term, Wheeler has shifted to the middle, but it certainly hasn't been an offensive hindrance so far. Now sporting 13 goals and 47 points for the campaign, fantasy owners can continue to roll out Wheeler confidently in all settings.

Wheeler scored a goal, added a power-play assist and recorded two shots through 21:54 of ice time (5:18 with the man advantage) during Friday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler shifted to the middle and skated between Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor with Mark Scheifele (upper body) out of the lineup. The move to center didn't hurt the veteran American's production, and Wheeler now has 10 goals and 44 points through 39 games for the campaign. There's a chance that Scheifele's absence will hurt Wheeler's numbers over the long haul, but it's unlikely to significantly impact his fantasy value.
