Adam Lowry Injury: Trending in right direction

Lowry (hip) is expected to be ready by late October or early November, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports Monday.

Lowry saw action in 73 regular-season games for the Jets last season in which he notched 16 goals and 18 assists despite not registering any points with the man advantage. Once given the all-clear, Lowry should slot into a third-line center role, though he could challenge Jonathan Toews for a spot in the top six.
