On Feb. nineteenth, the Winnipeg Jets held their first apply after the break. Everybody besides Kyle Connor, Connor Hellebuyck, and Josh Morrissey, who’re away competing within the 4 Nations event, hit the ice.
Adam Lowry and Morgan Barron have been listed as week-to-week previous to apply. Nevertheless, Lowry made it onto the ice in a daily uniform, whereas Barron didn’t.
After apply, Jets head coach Scott Arniel introduced that Lowry needs to be able to play when the crew returns to motion in St. Louis on Saturday.
The crew’s captain has missed the Jets’ final eight video games resulting from an upper-body damage sustained on Jan. twentieth in opposition to the Utah Hockey Membership. Throughout his absence, the Jets posted a formidable 8-0-0 report, with gamers like David Gustafsson and Rasmus Kupari stepping up into greater roles to contribute to the crew’s success.
The 6’5″ native of St. Louis, Missouri, has been a productive third-line heart for the Jets. Earlier than the damage, Lowry had scored 11 targets and picked up 15 assists for 26 factors. He’s a plus-17 and has delivered 88 hits in 48 video games performed. Lowry has additionally been filling in on the second-line heart function, the place he has produced simply as successfully as he did on the third line. I’m curious if the Jets will maintain him on the third line or bump him as much as the second line once more for Saturday’s contest.
The Jets at the moment sit in first place within the NHL total standings with a 39-14-3 report. Their final recreation earlier than the break was on Feb. seventh, extending their successful streak to eight video games as they defeated the New York Islanders 4-3 in regulation. They now head into St. Louis to face a struggling Blues crew, aiming to increase their win streak to 9 video games.
