The Winnipeg Jets locked up their captain for five more years.

The team announced Wednesday that they had signed forward Adam Lowry to a five-year, $25-million contract extension, which starting next season will pay him $5 million annually through 2030-31.

Lowry, who has served as team captain since 2023-24, has a goal and two assists for three points in seven games with the Jets in 2025-26. He didn’t make his regular-season debut until Nov. 4 after undergoing hip surgery last May, following Winnipeg’s second-round exit at the hands of the Dallas Stars.

In 2024-25, Lowry had 16 goals and 18 assists for 34 points in 73 games. Now in his 12th season, all with the Jets, Lowry has 122 goals and 154 assists for 276 points in 782 career regular-season games. He’s finished in the top 10 for Selke Trophy voting in the last two seasons.

He scored a career-high 15 goals in 2016-17, and topped out with 36 points in 2022-23.

He also has appeared in 62 career Stanley Cup Playoff games, scoring 15 goals and adding nine assists for 24 points. Lowry scored the double-overtime, series-winning goal against the St. Louis Blues in Game 7 of their first-round series last spring.

Lowry, a native of St. Louis, was taken in the third round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, part of the Jets’ first-ever draft class. He spent four seasons with the Western Hockey League’s Swift Current Broncos, and in his final season scored 45 goals and 43 assists for 88 points and 102 penalty minutes in 72 games.

The Jets are 12-7-0 with 24 points through their first 19 games of the 2025-26 regular season, fourth in the Central Division. Their next game is Friday when they host the Carolina Hurricanes.
