Adam Lowry, captain of the Winnipeg Jets, is expected to miss the start of the upcoming NHL season due to successful hip surgery. The Jets, who are optimistic about his recovery, estimate a rehabilitation period of five to six months. Lowry, who scored four goals in 13 playoff games last season, notably scored the decisive goal in Game 7 against the St. Louis Blues. As he enters the final year of his contract with a $16.25 million value, the Jets' depth will be tested during his recovery.
