Jets Captain Adam Lowry Returns Ahead of Schedule for Season Debut Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry is set to make his season debut Tuesday night on the road against the Los Angeles Kings, returning ahead of schedule from hip surgery he underwent in late May. Originally given a 5-6 month recovery timeline, his early return provides a crucial boost to the Jets' lineup and leadership core. In the 2024-25 season, the 32-year-old center recorded 16 goals and 18 assists in 73 games, adding 4 goals in 13 playoff games, including a memorable Game 7 winner. Lowry, who has spent his entire NHL career with Winnipeg, will be reunited with Nino Niederreiter, as his return is especially timely given the absences of Gustav Nyquist (day-to-day) and Morgan Barron (week-to-week).
