To say a couple of Jets lost their cool Saturday afternoon would be an understatement

Winnipeg captain Blake Wheeler left early and practice was cut short after he and Ben Chiarot got into punch-up at Bell MTS Place.

The teammates got into an altercation during a power-play drill about 30 minutes into the skate, as some pushing and shoving quickly turned into a series of jabs by the club's leader and the veteran blue-liner.
