Blake Wheeler Stats

Winnipeg Jets right wing Blake Wheeler came up with a big goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Arizona, tilting a tight contest in Winnipeg's favor with the game-winning goal 16:45 into the second period. He scored in a second consecutive game and now has 11 markers for the whole season. Wheeler, who recently missed nine games after undergoing surgery for a ruptured testicle, has added 19 assists in 35 outings. He has been one of the most consistent scorers in the league for many years and Wheeler is still going strong even at 36. If he can up his pace just a little bit, the veteran winger would average at least 0.90 points per game for an eighth consecutive season.

Winnipeg Jets right wing Blake Wheeler (groin) has come off Injured Reserve and will be back in action Friday versus Tampa Bay. He has missed the past nine games after undergoing groin surgery. It has been revealed that Wheeler suffered a ruptured testicle by blocking teammate Josh Morrissey's shot in a game against Nashville on Dec. 15. The veteran was stripped of captaincy prior to the start of 2022-23 and he has responded well to it, producing nine goals and 17 assists in 29 appearances. Wheeler will join the second line, with Cole Perfetti (upper body) also back and Nikolaj Ehlers (abdomen) making his season debut. The return of three key forwards is horrible news for Sam Gagner, who is forced to drop from the first line all the way back down to the fourth. Adam Lowry and Karson Kuhlman also have to settle for lesser roles.

Winnipeg Jets right wing Blake Wheeler won't be in the lineup Saturday against Vancouver and he is set to miss at least a month after undergoing groin surgery. The veteran took a shot to the groin in Thursday's match against Nashville and missed a part of the game, but he returned in the third period to finish the contest and it appeared that Wheeler avoided serious injury. However, it's now been confirmed that he had surgery on Friday. The 35-year-old has had a good campaign so far with 26 points in 29 games. With the Jets still without Nikolaj Ehlers (hernia), there were some interesting lines on the ice at the morning skate, as Karson Kuhlman and Sam Gagner were among the top six.

Winnipeg Jets right wing Blake Wheeler enjoyed his best game of the season Tuesday, recording four points in a 5-0 win over Colorado. He notched his fourth career hat trick and handed out one assist. Wheeler opened the scoring on the power play and then added two even-strength goals to his tally. The former Jets captain has shown off incredible form lately, recording three consecutive multi-point efforts and racking up 10 points in his past five appearances. He's now on 20 points through 21 games for the whole season. The veteran winger finds him in a great position to prolong his hot streak, as Winnipeg faces a couple of awful defensive teams next, with Columbus and Anaheim coming to town.
