Jets captain Lowry likely to miss start of next season after undergoing hip surgery
WINNIPEG — Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry is expected to miss the start of the next NHL season as he recovers from hip surgery.
The Jets updated Lowry’s status in a statement Wednesday, a day after Lowry underwent the procedure.
The statement, which did not specify when Lowry sustained a hip injury, said the surgery was a success. The team expects him to make a full recovery after five to six months of rehabilitation.
Lowry had four goals in 13 post-season games for the Jets, including the double-overtime goal that gave Winnipeg a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues in Game 7 of the first round.
