The Winnipeg Jets love just about everything about Adam Lowry, from his size and grit to his hockey IQ and maturity.
It was more than just curious, then, to see a player they have so much faith in moved from his third-line centre roll to the wing on the left side of the fourth line in Wednesday’s 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks. After all, that’s one step closer to a spot in the press box than a contract extension.
Upon further review, the move not only had merit, but made perfect sense for a player struggling to find his game — along with just about everyone else in Jets colours — in just his second NHL season.
