Winnipeg forward Adam Lowry will have a hearing today for boarding Buffalo forward Patrick Kaleta.

BOSTON – Winnipeg Jets centre Adam Lowry has been suspended for one game by the National Hockey League.

Lowry was nailed for his boarding penalty on Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta in Wednesday’s 2-1 victory and picked up a five-minute major and game misconduct.

The National Hockey League’s Department of Player Safety conducted a hearing with Lowry on Thursday before making the announcement.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and based on his average annual salary, Lowry forfeits $4,453.41. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
The suspension could leave the Jets shorthanded down the middle for Friday’s game here against the Bruins, although centre Mathieu Perreault did skate at an optional practice at Boston University this afternoon. Perreault left Tuesday’s victory over Columbus with a suspected shoulder injury and did not play against the Sabres.
“I felt pretty good,” said Perreault. “I was able to take some shots and stuff so we’ll see how it feels tomorrow. It felt not bad today so hopefully tomorrow will be even better. I tried a few things… took faceoffs, shots, little battles along the boards and it felt not too bad.
“I’d like to play. If I feel like I can play then I’d like to be in the lineup.”
The club still also has an extra forward in T.J. Galiardi, who is still with the team after clearing waivers on Wednesday. If the Jets do need to dip into the farm for help, the St. John’s IceCaps are on the road nearby. They rallied in a come-from-behind 4-3 shootout victory over the Binghamton Senators in Maine on Wednesday and next play Saturday in Wilkes-Barre.
