The Winnipeg Jets<\/a> will be without their captain for at least the first few weeks of the season.<\/p>\n

Adam Lowry<\/a>, who had hip surgery in late May, said Thursday that his recovery is progressing well and he is targeting a late-October or early-November return to game action, per The Athletic’s Murat Ates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lowry then joked to Ates that he will be skating in “solitary confinement” over the next few weeks to avoid aggravating the injury. <\/p>\n

The 32-year-old had surgery 10 days after the Jets were eliminated in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Dallas Stars.<\/p>\n

Lowry played in all 13 of Winnipeg’s playoff games and scored the biggest goal of the Jets’ season when he fired home the double-OT winner during Game 7 of the team’s first-round playoff series against the St. Louis Blues.<\/p>\n

A career-long Jet since being drafted in the third round (67th overall) in 2011, Lowry posted 16 goals and 18 assists in 73 regular-season games this season before adding four more tallies in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Over 775 career games with Winnipeg, Lowry has 121 goals and 152 assists.<\/p>\n

Lowry is entering the final season of a five-year contract signed in 2021 worth an average of $3.25 million annually.<\/p>\n

After winning the Presidents’ Trophy with a league-best 116 points last season, the Jets begin their follow-upon Oct. 9 when they host the Stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Winnipeg Jets will be without their captain for at least the first few weeks of the season.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-136655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
