Jets captain Blake Wheeler had a great weekend after posting a four goal night on Sunday night to go along with his goal and three assists he had in the two games prior which garnered him this selection by the NHL.  The Jets had two big wins in those three games including a victory over the Predators on Friday night in Winnipeg and last night over the Blue Jackets in Columbus.

This is the second time this season he has received a Second Star of the Week nod and this was the seventh time this season the Jets have been given the nod for a spot in as a top 3 Star:

Mark Scheifele – 1st Star, 2nd Star x2
Blake Wheeler – 2nd Star x 2
Patrik Laine – 1st Star
Jack Roslovic – 1st Star.
