Wheeler was held out of Saturday's practice for maintenance purposes, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Analysis:

Coach Paul Maurice indicated after the session that Wheeler would be fine to play Sunday against the Flames, so there doesn't seem to be a need for much concern here. The winger may have gotten a bit dinged up after blocking a Shea Weber shot attempt in Friday's game against the Predators, but should be fine after taking a therapy day.
