Winnipeg Jets Blake Wheeler named NHL’s Second Star of the Week

Jets captain Blake Wheeler had a fantastic weekend which garnered him this selection by the NHL.  After posting a five point night (1G 4A) on Friday night he followed that up with a 2A performance on Sunday which included him becoming the first Jets player since relocation to accumulate 500 points with the franchise.

This is the third time the Jets captain has cracked the Three Stars of the Week and the first time since he was selected the First Star of the Week back on December 4th, 2017.  Hard to believe that you have to go back to the Jets first season for the first time he was selected a Star for the week (Second Star to be precise) ending Feb. 20/12.
