Adam Lowry is Winnipeg's de facto No. 2 centre, making his extended absence a troubling item for the top team in the West.

Once February hits, second-line centre chatter is as inevitable as frostbite in this city. But Adam Lowry has shown he very well may be capable of handling that role effectively this season.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Ariel announced that captain Adam Lowry will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury. Lowry was injured during Monday night’s loss versus Utah Hockey Club when he crashed into the boards during the first period of play and did not return.

The team atop the Western Conference will have their depth tested down the middle for the next few weeks. According to Murat Ates of The Athletic, Winnipeg Jets forward Adam Lowry has been designated as week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

The captain of the Winnipeg Jets was forced to leave Monday's game against the Utah Hockey Club after only one period.

The Jets (31-14-3) are in Colorado (28-19-1) on Wednesday night. The two teams last knocked heads during the recent eight-game homestand, with Connor Hellebuyck earning his league-leading sixth shutout, as the Jets won 3-0 on Jan. 11.

Will they trade him now, will he walk or could the Jets still re-sign him? You wonder if Cole Perfetti is big or strong enough for his first full playoffs. Some of you just want to get Eric Comrie some run support — and one of you asked a fun statistical question about the Jets’ performance in Comrie’s starts.

Lowry was injured in the first period and did not play in the final two frames of Monday's loss. Head coach Scott Arniel didn't have an update on Lowry's health, so the Winnipeg captain's status is in question for Wednesday's road tilt against Colorado. Lowry will most likely be further evaluated by the Jets ' medical staff Tuesday.
