The top line is cooking with gas these days. And captain Blake Wheeler seems to be relishing the role of feeding his hungry linemates.

Wheeler dished out three primary assists Sunday night that were anything but routine as the Winnipeg Jets routed the Florida Panthers 7-2 at Bell MTS Place.

Kyle Connor notched a pair, while Mark Scheifele scored the game-winner late in the second period to break open what had been a fairly even tilt. Winnipeg is now 6-2-1 on their season-long 10-game homestand, which wraps up Tuesday night against Los Angeles.
