The wait is finally over, as Jets captain Adam Lowry is set to make his long-awaited season debut after he underwent surgery in the offseason. The <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/jets-captain-adam-lowry-returning-to-lineup-vs-kings/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Winnipeg Jets are set to be adding an important leader back into the lineup</a> as they set out on a crucial six-game road trip. Captain Adam Lowry is on track to make his season debut when the Jets face the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night, head coach Scott Arniel said Monday. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sportsnet/status/1985410444530516121'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Lowry is recovering from off-season hip surgery and skated with the team on Monday. Arniel said he considered adding Lowry to the lineup Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/new-reports-confirm-when-jets-captain-adam-lowry-is-expected-to-return-to-the-lineup' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>but a tight schedule with limited practice time set his return back.</a> This is probably the better scenario because having a good practice today, playing the game, then having Wednesday off, kinda get himself reset for the San Jose game, Arniel said. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLJets/status/1985407877054676998'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <h3>Adam Lowry had a career season last year as the Jets finished 1st overall in the NHL</h3> Lowry, age 32, is entering his 12th season in the NHL, all with Winnipeg. He scored a career-high 16 goals last season and had 34 points as the Jets won the Presidents' Trophy, and was a valuable leader for his team. The veteran's return comes at a great time as Morgan Barron, who was playing a third-line center role in Lowry's absence, is now out week to week with an undisclosed injury that he sustained late in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Penguins. The Jets will be on the road for the next two weeks with stops in Los Angeles, San Jose, Anaheim, Vancouver, Seattle, and Calgary, so Lowry's return could not have come at a better time.
