James Guillory-US PRESSWIRE
Eric Fehr is off to a strong start in Finland for HPK, Blake Wheeler got tossed from his first game in Germany, and Ondrej Pavelec had a couple of shaky games in recent Winnipeg Jets related Euro action.
We have reached the second of four IIHF National team schedule breaks for the 2012-13 season. During this time, 12 countries around the world will participate in Olympic pre-qualification play for Sochi 2014. I'm not sure if Ponkarovsky will play for Ukraine as they play against Spain, Estonia and Poland this week.
We saw the debuts of 3 Jets players since we last updated, as Blake Wheeler started play for Red Bull Munich in Germany, Tobias Enstrom started for Red Bull Salzburg in Austria and Eric Fehr started for Red Bull HPK in Finland. Wheeler got tossed from his first game after taking a 5 minute kneeing major accompanied by a game misconduct. Enstrom has 1 goal in five games for a struggling Salzburg side, and Fehr has really found something that works for him in Finland, as he has 6 points in 5 games and looks happy.
As for the rest of the Jets: Pavelec is still on-and-off, Festerling pikced up 3 assists in 5 games and Kane still has yet to figure out the KHL. Everybody else had average to below average weeks, with no stellar performances.

*Eric Fehr's shot numbers would be total shots taken, not shots on target. Shots on target was not available to AIH, so we went with was was next closest.
