Hanging up skates Wheeler is calling it a career after 16 seasons, telling Dan Leffelaar on the Beyond High Performance podcast, "It's just the emotional, get up 82 times - I don't want to do that....
Impact Over Wheeler's 16-year career, he spent the bulk of that time (13 campaigns) with the Winnipeg Jets for which he racked up 262 goals and 550 assists in 897 regular-season contests. Despite finishing his career with 943 points, plus another 45 postseason points, the Minnesota native received minimal personal or team accolades, finishing with just one All-Star selection.

Not practicing Saturday Wheeler (undisclosed) is not at morning skate Saturday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
Impact Wheeler is "banged up" according to a source and is questionable at best for Game 6 in Florida on Saturday. Wheeler has played only once since Feb. 18, due to a leg injury, as he was in the lineup for Game 4 on Tuesday, before sitting out Game 5. Anton Blidh has taken his spot during practice, but there is no guarantee that Blidh will be in the lineup, should Wheeler be unable to go.

Chytil back in lineup for Rangers in Game 5, Panthers make no changes

The New York Rangers made the only lineup change for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference final against the Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden
MAY 31 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Returns to lineup Tuesday Wheeler was back in action for Game 4 against the Panthers on Tuesday, recording four hits, two blocks and two PIM in 9:18 of ice time.
Impact Wheeler was in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 15 versus Montreal, a stretch of 41 games on the shelf due to his leg injury. Even with the veteran cleared to play, he may still have to serve as a healthy scratch periodically as he eases his way back to 100 percent, perhaps including Game 5 against Florida on Thursday.

Cleared for contact Wheeler (leg) has shed his non-contract jersey ahead of Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Monday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Impact Wheeler is practicing without the non-contact jersey for the first time, so it seems unlikely he will be available to play against Carolina on Monday immediately. Still, it's a positive sign for the veteran winger, who has been out of action since Feb. 15 versus the Canadiens. If Wheeler does get the all-clear, he figures to slot into a bottom-six role and could bump Jonny Brodsinski from the lineup.

Sustains lower-body injury Wheeler sustained a lower-body injury during Thursday's game against Montreal and won't return to the contest.
Impact Wheeler entered Thursday's action with nine goals and 21 points in 53 appearances this season. If he misses Sunday's match versus the Islanders, then Alex Belzile might make his season debut.
FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE
Two points against Knights Wheeler scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to Vegas.
Impact The 37-year-old produced his second multi-point performance in the last six games, but those are the only times he's gotten onto the scoresheet in January as Wheeler was held without a point in the other 11 contests on the month. His first season as a Ranger has been largely disappointing, and through 48 contests Wheeler has managed only eight goals and 19 points.

Two tallies including GWG Wheeler scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Kraken.
Impact It's the second multi-goal performance of the season for Wheeler, with the other coming Dec. 12 against the Maple Leafs. The long-time Jet snapped a seven-game point drought with Tuesday's effort, and the 37-year-old hasn't made much of an impact in his first campaign with the Rangers, producing seven goals and 17 points in 43 contests.
