The Captain tested positive for COVID-19 on the current road trip.
After being placed on the league’s COVID list…Jets Captain Blake Wheeler is going to miss a bit of time with the team.
Sarah Orlesky tweeted out the latest:
Blake Wheeler will need to isolate in MN for at least 10 days from when he tested positive for COVID-19. He has symptoms and depending on how he recovers the earliest he could rejoin the team is next week in California.

Already out of the lineup for tonight, the timeline for Wheeler’s return is now questionable.
If everything trends in the right direction…he has a chance to suit up again by Halloween weekend, probably for the game in San Jose.
