Overview
- The team announced Lowry was activated from long-term injured reserve and is expected to play Tuesday in Los Angeles, his first game since hip surgery in late May.
- Lowry is slated to center the third line with Nino Niederreiter and Tanner Pearson, with Pearson stepping in as Morgan Barron is out week-to-week.
- Head coach Scott Arniel said Dylan Samberg (wrist) and Cole Perfetti (ankle) traveled in non-contact jerseys and could progress to contact later on the six-game road trip.
- Winnipeg opened 9-3-0 without its captain and is 4-0-0 on the road entering the California swing.
- TSN’s Darren Dreger reports Lowry and the Jets are “super motivated” to work toward a long-term extension as he returns to the lineup.
