They'd been stuck in neutral for the past couple games, unable to take their high-octane offence out for a rip around town.
But the Winnipeg Jets found another gear Friday -- albeit hitting a few bumps in the road along the way -- as they downed the Minnesota Wild 4-3 at Bell MTS Place.
Blake Wheeler's first goal of the year -- and 200th of his career -- with just 6:46 left in the final period broke a tie and led the Jets to a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. Kyle Connor made a spectacular play to gain the zone and feed a streaking Wheeler, who deked out Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk.
