Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry is slated to miss the beginning of the upcoming NHL season due to hip surgery. The Jets announced that the procedure was successful, and they anticipate a full recovery period of approximately five to six months. Lowry played a pivotal role in the Jets' postseason run, scoring four goals in 13 games, including a critical double-overtime goal against the St. Louis Blues in Game 7. As he approaches the final season of a five-year contract worth $16.25 million, his absence could have significant implications for the Jets as they aim to build on their prior success, having won the Presidents' Trophy last season.
