He set a career high with 1-4-5 in a 5-2 triumph over the Colorado Avalanche Nov. 9, becoming the first Jets/Thrashers player to post a five-point game since Feb. 28, 2009 (Ilya Kovalchuk: 2-3-5 vs. CAR). Wheeler assisted on nine straight team goals prior to his third-period tally, joining Wayne Gretzky (2x) as the only players in NHL history to achieve the feat.

The 32-year-old Plymouth, Minn., native is tied for first in the NHL with 20 assists and ranks sixth overall with 23 points this season (16 GP), finding the scoresheet in 10 straight games (2-17-19).
