3 years agoWinnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler is set to return to the lineup on Saturday versus San Jose. The Jets captain came off the COVID-19 list earlier in the week, and whilst there were reports of him possibly needing around a week to get back into game shape, he's on course to feature Saturday night. Wheeler hasn't played since Oct. 16 and has missed five games. He's started the year with one point in two games. Wheeler makes his return on the third line alongside Adam Lowry and Kristian Vesalainen. Mark Scheifele has also cleared the COVID-19 protocol and could be back in the lineup in Tuesday's home game against Dallas.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
