Adam Lowry exited Monday's game against Utah HC with an injury and will be out tonight against the Colorado Avalanche.
Winnipeg Jets center Adam Lowry (lower body) is considered week-to-week. Jets head coach Scott Arniel announced the news on Wednesday after Lowry was injured in Monday's game against Utah. The 31-year-old will miss his first game of the season on Wednesday against Colorado.

The Jets (31-14-3) are in Colorado (28-19-1) on Wednesday night. The two teams last knocked heads during the recent eight-game homestand, with Connor Hellebuyck earning his league-leading sixth shutout, as the Jets won 3-0 on Jan. 11.
