Blake Wheeler, who made Team USA for the first time this year, is having an excellent season (56 points in 70 games) and is on pace for a career-high in points. On Wednesday night, he added to his impressive success, scoring a tremendously patient overtime winner against the Avalanche to get the Jets a much needed two points.
With the win, Winnipeg is currently four points behind Phoenix for the last Wild Card playoff spot in the Western Conference.
