The Winnipeg Jets handed Adam Lowry the "C" on Tuesday, making him the 10th captain in franchise history and the third since they relocated from Atlanta.

Mark Scheifele and Josh Morrissey will remain alternate captains for the Jets.

Lowry is entering his 10th season with the club, which stripped Blake Wheeler of the captaincy last September. The Jets then bought out Wheeler's contract June 30.

Wheeler had been Winnipeg's captain since 2016. He succeeded Andrew Ladd, who the then-Atlanta Thrashers named captain in 2010 before moving to Winnipeg prior to the 2011-12 season.
