The Winnipeg Jets have recalled top prospect Brad Lambert from the Manitoba Moose with Nikolaj Ehlers absent from today's morning skate.
Once February hits, second-line centre chatter is as inevitable as frostbite in this city. But Adam Lowry has shown he very well may be capable of handling that role effectively this season.
Adam Lowry is Winnipeg's de facto No. 2 centre, making his extended absence a troubling item for the top team in the West.
Will they trade him now, will he walk or could the Jets still re-sign him? You wonder if Cole Perfetti is big or strong enough for his first full playoffs. Some of you just want to get Eric Comrie some run support — and one of you asked a fun statistical question about the Jets’ performance in Comrie’s starts.

After the Mikko Rantanen trade, anything seems possible. Let's break down who the Jets might target to upgrade their forward corps.

They are answering those questions on the fly, as Tuesday evening’s 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens marked the Jets’ fourth straight win, this one kicking off a three-game east coast road trip, and Winnipeg’s top players drove them to victory.
