Scheifele (27 points in 19 games) moved to within six points of Nathan MacKinnon's league-leading 33 points in the win. Tuesday also marked career game No. 898 for Scheifele, who surpassed Blake Wheeler for the most games played in Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise history.

Columbus Blue Jackets have five-game point streak halted by Winnipeg Jets following long postgame flight for back-to-back finale.

The Jets are nearing a deal with captain Adam Lowry, striving to lock down another essential piece of Winnipeg’s roster through 2030–31.

Kings dominate Jets 3-0 in a physical contest. Kuemper shines with a shutout, while Lowry’s return sparks no offense for Winnipeg.

Lowry is the proverbial straw that stirs the middle of drink for the trio. As the captain’s play improves the line should produce more offence. At least, that is the hope. The team is desperately looking for consistent and reliable scoring beyond the Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Gabe Vilardi line.

WINNIPEG -- Adam Lowry will make his season debut when the Winnipeg Jets begin a six-game road trip at the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday (10:30 p.m. ET; FDSNW, TSN3). The 32-year-old Jets captain missed the first 12 games while recovering from hip surgery May 27. The projected timeline for rehabilitation was 5-6 months.

We're going one by one from Lowry to Luke Schenn, discussing key context, and ranking Winnipeg's free agent priorities.

Statistics show that teams often perform better at home, with factors such as familiar surroundings, fan support, and reduced travel fatigue contributing to improved outcomes. The Jets aim to leverage these advantages against the Blue Jackets, who are also playing the second half of a back-to-back game, potentially giving the Jets an edge.
