    Bryan Little is pretty impressed by what Blake Wheeleris doing these days for the Winnipeg Jets.

    Wheeler moved to center from right wing Dec. 27 when Mark Scheifele was injured. In four full games since then, the Winnipeg captain has five goals.

    "It's not easy to make that transition," said Little, who centers the team's second line. "Not many people can do it and he makes it look really easy.

    "When I watch him out there a s a center, it looks like his natural position. It's nice to have that kind of flexibility on your team."

    Wheeler and Jacob Trouba each had a goal and an assist as the Jets extended their point streak to five games with a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night.
