Jets news:

Sportsnet: Adam Lowry’s scoring and crashing helping fuel Jets’ high-flying start. He’s on pace to obliterate his career highs in goals (15), assists (14) and points (29) with three goals and four assists through 11 games of the season. Even if he doesn’t he is providing the Jets with much needed depth scoring.

Covers a number of topics including 1) Value of Mason Appleton. 2) What it will take for Ville Heinola to get a chance? 3) Playing the kids on the backend. 4) Whether Kevin Cheveldayoff is too cautious? 5) Would Jets consider a rebuild if this season doesn’t go as expected?
