Wheeler (knee) is expected to be out a while after a net-front collision in Friday's game versus the Canucks, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wheeler was seen grabbing his knee as he left the ice after the collision. Prior to the injury, Wheeler scored his first goal of the season and added two assists to extend his point streak to five games. The 35-year-old will undergo more testing, with news on his timeline expected in the coming days. The Jets will likely need to call up a forward from AHL Manitoba, while Nikolaj Ehlers is most likely to move into a top-line role during Wheeler's absence.
