Two helpers in win Wheeler logged a pair of assists in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Wheeler set up Mika Zibanejad's opening marker in the second period before adding another assist on Braden Schneider's goal in the third. The 37-year-old Wheeler now has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last four contests after he was held scoreless over his previous eight games. Wheeler should continue to get an opportunity alongside Zibanejad and Chris Kreider on New York's top line while Kaapo Kakko (lower body) is sidelined. Overall, the veteran winger is up to 11 points (four goals, seven assists) through 30 games this season.

Lights lamp twice in loss Wheeler scored two goals on five shots on net in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The 37-year-old came into the contest with only two goals in his first 26 games as a Ranger, but Wheeler doubled that number Tuesday while snapping an 11-game goal drought. His first season in New York has been a disappointment so far, and despite seeing plenty of shifts alongside Mika Zibanejad at even strength, Wheeler's managed just eight points through 27 contests.

Provides helper in win Wheeler logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Wheeler has finally gotten his offense going with a goal and two assists over his last four games. The 37-year-old helped out on Chris Kreider's first-period marker. Through 14 outings, Wheeler has three points, 25 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. He saw 13:56 of ice time Sunday, his highest mark since Opening Night -- while he's been listed on the first line, his usage resembles that of a bottom-six forward.

Scores power-play goal Wheeler scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Wheeler finally found the back of the net, scoring his first goal for the Blueshirts. It's been a quiet, and no doubt disappointing, start to the season for the veteran winger, as he has managed just one goal, one assist and 24 shots in 13 games while averaging 11:51 of ice time. It's the lowest minutes per game of Wheeler's NHL career which coincides with a lack of power-play opportunities (an average of 40 seconds per game).

Quiet debut with Rangeers Wheeler had two shots on goal and a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact Wheeler skated on the third line with Vincent Trocheck and Will Cuylle while featuring on the second power-play unit in his debut with the Rangers. New York breezed by Buffalo in its first game of the season despite Wheeler's quiet night, but the Rangers are hoping the 37-year-old winger still has some gas in the tank coming off a 55-point season in Winnipeg.

Pens one-year deal Wheeler agreed to terms on a one-year, $800,00 contract with the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Wheeler joins the Rangers having spent the previous 13 seasons with the Jets, including one campaign as the Atlanta Thrashers. During his time in Winnipeg, the Minnesota native racked up 262 goals and 550 assists in 897 contests. Despite the young talent in the Big Apple, Wheeler should be in the mix for a spot in the top six, perhaps even on the top line with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad.
