Adam Lowry is week to week for the Jets with an upper-body injury.
"So obviously a big blow," Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. "So just like we've kind of done with other injuries, other people have to step up."
Lowry, a forward and Winnipeg's captain, was injured in the first period of a 5-2 loss at the Utah Hockey Club on Monday. He has 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in 48 games this season.
"'Lows' is a huge loss. He's our captain, our backbone in a sense," forward Mason Appleton said. "He does a lot of things on all of the ice. He's been scoring too and defending real hard. So he's a huge loss for us, and as soon as we can get him back, that'll be great."
Appleton will return to the lineup after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury.
"It happened before Christmas, and then I thought it was something different," he said. "And I kind of tried to play a game and realized it didn't work," Appleton said. "So after that game, that's when I realized something was more wrong than I thought.
He has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 37 games.
"A month away is decent amount of time where you kind of got to maybe ease back into it a little bit," Appleton said. "Like, you're not going to feel great right away, but I've been a situation like this before, and just try to build my game and get going. Excited to be back, for sure though."
