Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler lead Jets over Oilers in pre-season
WINNIPEG — Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler decided to train together in the summer. It appears to be quickly paying off.
The Jets linemates each had three-point games as Winnipeg defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-3 in pre-season play Sunday.
Scheifele scored a power-play goal, added another shorthanded and picked up an assist on Wheeler’s power-play goal. The captain also had a pair of assists.
“Blake’s the guy that drives this bus and I’m a guy who likes to follow him and try to help out as much as I can,” Scheifele said.
