Thu Jan 23 02:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Jets Captain Lowry Out Week-to-Week with Upper-Body Injury
**Denver, CO** – Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry will be sidelined for an indefinite period after suffering an upper-body injury in Monday’s game against the Utah. The injury, sustained early in the first period, will keep the 31-year-old out week-to-week, head coach Scott Arniel announced.
Lowry’s absence is a significant blow to the Jets, who heavily rely on his defensive contributions and face-off prowess. He leads the team with 415 defensive zone draws. His 11 goals and 26 points this season also demonstrate his offensive capabilities.
The Jets face a tough test tonight against the Colorado Avalanche, a game that will require a team effort to compensate for Lowry’s absence. Arniel emphasized the need for collective responsibility, particularly against Avalanche stars Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.
However, there is some positive news for Winnipeg. Forward Mason Appleton, who has been sidelined for 11 games with a lower-body injury, is set to return to the lineup tonight, along with defenseman Haydn Fleury, who has missed 12 games due to a lower-body injury. Alex Iafallo will fill in on the top line with Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor.
Both the Jets and the Avalanche will be looking to rebound from recent losses. The Jets are hoping to win their third game against Colorado in the four-game season series. Puck drop is scheduled for 8:30 pm CT, airing on TSN 3 and radio on 680 CJOB/Power 97.
