A contrite Blake Wheeler accepted the blame for a rare fight with teammate Ben Chiarot during Saturday's practice at Bell MTS Place.
Speaking this morning, the Winnipeg Jets captain admitted he was the instigator, whipping a shot in frustration that nearly hit the blue-liner, adding Chiarot had every right to react with malice.
