Wheeler connected for a goal of seven shots to go along with a power-play assist in Friday's 4-3 home win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
This was an inspired performance for Wheeler against his hometown team. His ability to blow past defenders and slice through the attacking zone culminates translates to consistent offensive production, but the top-liner is currently operating with a career-low 4.5 shooting percentage. Still, some of that can be attributed to bad luck and Wheeler owners can expect that rate to spike over time.

Wheeler recorded three assists -- one on the power play -- during Monday's 5-3 win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
The imposing winger has now collected four assists through his past two games, and it's encouraging that he's reunited with Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers at even strength. That trio has long-standing chemistry and a track record of offensive success. Wheeler has established himself as a go-to scorer with four straight seasons of at least 25 goals and consecutive 70-point campaigns.

Wheeler was credited with a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-3 road loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
That was Wheeler's first point this campaign. He's hoisted nine shots over the first two games, but nothing has fallen. Still, practice patience with Wheeler, as he averaged 76 points with double-digit, power-play point totals the last two seasons.

Wheeler scored the game winner Saturday while shorthanded in a 2-1 victory over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler goes out hot on an eight-game, 11-point streak that includes four goals. He has recorded three-straight 26-goal seasons and four-straight with at least that many. Wheeler is one goal shy of the 200-mark and will be a key cog in the Jets' push to the postseason in 2017-18.

Wheeler set up two assists at even strength Tuesday, helping his team to a 5-2 road win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
If 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in 23 games are any indication, Wheeler thoroughly enjoys playing the Blues. Calder Trophy candidate Patrik Laine may be hogging the spotlight as the regular season comes to a close, but it would be dangerous to overlook captain Wheeler, who's cleared the 70-point mark for the second straight season to complement a career-high 21 points on the man advantage.

Wheeler picked up a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win against the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The hot streak just keeps getting hotter -- he's now up to a dozen points over his last eight games, with half of those on the power play. Thought last season's 78 points weren't repeatable? Well, they probably aren't, but Wheeler is now just two points away from cracking 70 for the second straight campaign. His name doesn't often come up among the stars of the league, but perhaps it should.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler has turned into one of the most reliable fantasy forwards in the game with four straight 20-goal, 60-plus point campaigns. Expect him to keep it rolling and finish the year strong.
