The Jets were trailing the Tampa Bay Lightning by a goal at home in the third period on Friday when Winnipeg dumped the puck in behind the opposing net. Lightning goalie Ben Bishop went to retrieve it, but then Wheeler appeared out of nowhere, stripped the puck off him and dunked it home to tie the game.
