EDGE Analysis

Lowry will travel with the Jets on their upcoming three-game road trip, but he'll likely require several more weeks before he's in the mix to return to game action. Over 48 appearances this year before sustaining his injury, Lowry tallied 11 goals, 15 assists, 88 hits, 41 blocked shots and 14 PIM while averaging 15:24 of ice time.
