Adam Lowry: our analysis
2025-26 season: 70 GP, 5 G, 16 A, 21 PTS, -6 +/-, 14:58 TOI. WAR 0.1 (329th of 615) · PAL 51, around average.
In 2025-26, Adam Lowry, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 51 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of 0.1 ranks 329th among 615 regulars, in the bottom half.
His strengths: defense (89, among the best in the league) and possession (67, above average). On the other hand, shooting (13, among the weakest in the league) and offense (14, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+2.1); his biggest cost: finishing (-5.8).
A marked decline: his PAL was 75 in 2024-25, against 51 now; his WAR went from 1.9 to 0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 43 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Adam Lowry's story
Born in St. Louis while his father was still playing in the NHL, Adam Lowry moved back to Calgary as he grew up and developed his game in a hockey family. He signed a WHL deal with the Swift Current Broncos in 2009 and made an immediate impact as a 16‑year‑old, scoring 15 goals in his rookie season and earning the Daryl K. (Doc) Seaman Trophy for scholastic achievement.
Despite an early setback from mononucleosis in his second WHL season, Lowry continued to progress and was selected 67th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He finished his major junior career as the WHL Player of the Year in 2012–13, then moved to the AHL with the St. John’s IceCaps on an amateur tryout before signing his entry‑level contract with the Jets.
Lowry’s professional arc moved from the AHL—where he was shifted to centre—to a steady NHL role beginning in 2014–15. He scored his first NHL goal on 21 October 2014 and established himself as a defensively oriented forward who can take tough zone starts and contribute on the penalty kill. His career has included recalls, reassignments and injuries, but also playoff runs that raised his profile and led to a three‑year, $8.75 million deal signed in July 2018 and later a five‑year, $25 million extension in November 2025.
Named captain of the Jets on 12 September 2023, Lowry has been both a leader and a physical presence on the ice. He was suspended twice at different points in his career, with portions of salary forfeited to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. In the 2025 playoffs he scored multiple goals against St. Louis, including the double‑overtime winner in Game 7, and added a goal in the second round before Winnipeg was eliminated in six games.
Lowry’s game is defined by hard minutes rather than headline scoring. He is relied upon for defensive zone face‑offs, significant shorthanded ice time and a physical approach that produces hits and penalties drawn; those traits have anchored his role within Winnipeg’s forward corps.
