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.
