Wheeler scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Wheeler tallied just 20 seconds into the third period to get the Jets within a goal, but their offense went quiet after that. The 35-year-old has been very solid in a top-line role lately with two goals and six assists in his last seven outings. The winger is up to eight tallies, 42 points, 106 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-10 rating through 45 appearances.
