Wheeler collected five hits and an empty-net assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
It would have been disappointing to see Wheeler go pointless in a high-scoring affair, but that's the beauty of having the cage unguarded if you have fantasy stock in players from the winning team. Wheeler's hits total went down as a season-high through 12 games, and he now has nine points (three goals, six assists) in that span.

Wheeler dished out an assist in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler had a hot start to the year, scoring three goals and two assists in the first three games, but he cooled off for about a week without a point. The 30-year-old has two assists in the last three games, showing he might be pulling out of the cold streak.

Wheeler piled up a goal and two assists in Winnipeg's season-opening 5-4 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler was the catalyst for a Jets third-period comeback that turned a 4-1 deficit into a victory. He pulled the game back within two goals with a shorthanded tally early in the period, then assisted on Mathieu Perreault's game-tying goal inside the final two minutes and Mark Scheifele's overtime winner. Winnipeg's new captain definitely won over the locker room with this performance in his first game in that role.

Wheeler dished out three helpers in Winnipeg's 5-1 win over Edmonton in preseason Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler, recently named the captain of the Jets, seems primed for another All-Star caliber campaign after Friday night's three-point performance. The 30-year-old right winger is coming off his second 82-game campaign in his last three while compiling career-highs in assists (52) and points (78) last season for Winnipeg.

Wheeler was named as the new captain of the Jets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler takes over for Andrew Ladd who was traded to Chicago at the deadline. The team went without a captain for the remainder of the season. Wheeler was the obvious choice having been with the team since their days in Atlanta. The 30-year-old provides the perfect combination of experience and productive that will command respect in the locker room.

Wheeler scored his 26th goal of the season and had an assist in Saturday's season-finale against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets may be missing the postseason, but Wheeler finished the season on an absolute tear, scoring in his last five games and ending on an 11-game point streak. The 29-year-old finishes with 26 goals and 78 points in 82 games and was one of the best right-wingers in fantasy. While he set a career high in points, Wheeler has now also scored at least 25 goals in three straight seasons. This stud is fantasy gold.

Wheeler produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler has been the focal point of the Jets offense, since Andrew Ladd was dealt to the Blackhawks and Bryan Little (back) had his season cut short near the end of February. The 29-year-old has generated 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) since March 20, having produced at least one point in 10 straight games. If you have Wheeler on your fantasy roster, you have to love how he's playing like the Stanley Cup is on the line, even though the Jets have long been out of the playoff picture.

Wheeler netted the game-winning goal to go along with four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in a 2-1 win over the Ducks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler now has points in nine straight and in 12 of his last 13, as he is continuing to tear it up out in Winnipeg. In that 13 game stretch, he has six goals and six assists. He has been very productive in that stretch, racking up 43 shots on goal and 25 hits in that span.

Wheeler bagged an empty-net goal in Sunday's win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler has been on fire, as he's now recorded a point in eight straight with 11 points (five goals, six assists) in that span. He's used this stretch to blow past his previous career-high point total, now sitting at 73 on the season. The winger continues to click with linemates Nikolaj Ehlers and Mark Scheifele, so keep him rolling down the final stretch.

Wheeler potted a goal in Monday's loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Wheeler was active in this one, as he also rifled off a game-high seven shots on net. He's now found his way onto the scoresheet in five consecutive games -- and in eight of the last nine -- as he now sits just one point shy of tying his career-best 69 set two seasons ago.
