WINNIPEG - Captain Blake Wheeler predicted the best is yet to come for the Winnipeg Jets, but he wasn't sizing up championship rings.
With a 7-4 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights Friday, the Jets moved into first place in the NHL's Western Conference with 36 points (16-6-4).
"Nothing, it's the first of December," Wheeler said when asked what the conference lead meant.
But he was happy with the direction the team is headed.
