Adam Lowry, the captain of the Winnipeg Jets, has secured a five-year contract extension worth $25 million. This announcement came from the team on Wednesday.
Details of the Contract Extension
The contract features an average annual value of $5 million. Lowry, who is 32 years old, has been a significant part of the Jets since the 2023 season when he assumed the role of team captain. He has spent his entire 12-season NHL career playing in Winnipeg.
Performance Highlights
- Lowry scored a career-high 16 goals last season.
- He accumulated a total of 34 points in 73 games.
- His contributions helped the Jets win their first Presidents’ Trophy in franchise history.
Future Aspirations
This contract extension keeps Lowry in Winnipeg until the end of the 2030-31 season. It aligns him with forward Kyle Connor, who recently signed an eight-year deal worth $96 million. This commitment aims to enhance the Jets’ chances of reaching their first Stanley Cup Final.
Team Achievements
Despite making it to the postseason in seven of the past eight seasons, the Jets have yet to clinch a Stanley Cup Final appearance. Lowry has played 782 career NHL games, where he has scored 122 goals and recorded 276 points.
As Lowry continues to lead the Jets, the team remains focused on breaking their championship drought while building a formidable roster alongside Connor and star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.
