NHL Note - Winnipeg Jets Wheeler, Blake

Oct 21, 2017 - 8:38 AM W Blake Wheeler showed the benefits of having a short memory as he brushed aside a goaltender interference ruling to come back minutes later to net the winning goal in a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night. He appeared to have set up center Mark Scheifele to break a 3-3 tie near the midway mark of the third period,but officials ruled Wheeler had bumped G Devan Dubnyk in his crease after the Wild challenged the play. No matter. Just a few minutes later, Wheeler broke into the Wild zone with rookie left winger Kyle Connor, took a nice saucer pass and deked out Dubnyk to give the Jets the lead at 13:14.
