It took 22 games but Blake Wheeler finally scored his first goal of the season and he had six shots in the first period alone.
It didn’t look good for Jets captain Blake Wheeler who left the game in the 3rd period after he fell and his knee looked a bit awkward in the fall and was helped to the room.
