Blake Wheeler is still dealing with a minor injury, so coach Claude Noel has decided to keep him and Winnipeg's top line out of Thursday's exhibition match. "We need to see some other people play and determine where they fit in," said Noel. "I don't want a mix bag of players. I want the other groups to try and gain some chemistry. Ladd, Little and Wheeler will start the season together. This is a chance to get some other groups going."
