\u201cThat is five months he has been out, and it isn\u2019t easy to jump right back in there,\u201d Jets head coach Scott Arniel told reporters in Calgary on Saturday afternoon. \u201cLowry said: \u2018He felt like he was on a bicycle in a NASCAR race\u2019. He is starting to feel better with each game and that is great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowry had off-season hip surgery back in May. He missed all of training camp, finally making his season debut in a 3-0 road loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 4.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, the No. 17 in blue and white had tempered expectations upon his insertion into the lineup, wanting to take it nice and slow. Inevitably, he wasn\u2019t happy with the \u2018nice and slow\u2019 approach, the shackles starting to remove themselves during the Remembrance Day tilt against the Vancouver Canucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lowry is now working on a two-game point streak heading into Saturday\u2019s game against the Flames. No goals just yet, but two assists and that is OK for what it portends going forward.<\/p>\n

Two-game point streak<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reads I am making are so much better,\u201d Lowry said. \u201cIn the first three games I was slow, maybe a little tentative getting used to contact and the chaos and you can only do so much of that in practice. Nino Niederreiter and Alex Iafallo are such consistent performers, and they are so steady, and you know what you are going to get from them every night, and if you have a weak link on the line sometimes you don\u2019t look how you envision it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowry is the proverbial straw that stirs the middle of drink for the trio. As the captain\u2019s play improves the line should produce more offence. At least, that is the hope. The team is desperately looking for consistent and reliable scoring beyond the Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Gabe Vilardi line.<\/p>\n

Connor, Scheifele and Vilardi have scored, whether separately or together, 26 of the team\u2019s 55 goals.<\/p>\n

And in the waning moments of the 13-day road trip that much needed production has been there when needed. The trio has seven points on three goals and four assists. Iafallo has two goals and one assist, Niederreiter has one goal and one helper.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last two games we have certainly done a better job of getting the puck below the goal line,\u201d Lowry said. \u201cIn the last game it was a rush goal, but a lot of our offence comes off the forecheck, creating turnovers, cycle plays and hemming them in. That is something we are going to keep building. We still have a lot of room for improvement. The exciting part is. We liked our last two games, but we would like to keep building off that, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jets finished their six-game trip in Calgary on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

As the captain briefly mentioned, two of the goals came by winning physical encounters in and around the net, something the trio desires to bring every night.<\/p>\n

\u2018Greasy goals\u2019<\/p>\n

The Iafallo goal against the Seattle Kraken came off the rush, followed by a hard drive to the right post by Iafallo, redirecting a Lowry pass behind Philipp Grubauer. The Niederreiter goal in Vancouver was a deflected goal created by Lowry\u2019s pressure behind the net and subsequent pass into the crease for the Swiss winger, who was fighting for positioning with Tom Willander. Iafallo\u2019s second goal in Vancouver was an empty netter that clinched the 5-3 win over the Canucks.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreasy goals, driving to the net, getting to the blue paint,\u201d head coach Scott Arniel said when asked about the nature of the goals and what the paying patrons can expect vis a vis style of play.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the ice, Arniel is confident enough to put the line out there for a crucial defensive zone faceoff.<\/p>\n

\u201c(That line is a) luxury to have as a coach because you can throw them out to change the tide in a game, and when you need a good forecheck and some heavy hitting and also to start in our end of the rink, starting with (winning faceoffs) and getting out of (the defensive zone),\u201d Arniel said.<\/p>\n
