Winnipeg Jets’ Three Stars of the Month – January, 2021
- In 49 games last season, Adam Lowry scored four goals and had 10 points.
- In eight games this season, Lowry has four goals already is just two points away from tying his output from all of 2019-20.
- Lowry was unhappy with his play last season, in which he suffered a January injuryandwas on the shelf for nearly two months.
- Copp recorded four goals and five assists for nine points this month and had five-game point streak snapped in the final game of the month against the Vancouver Canucks (he nearly extended it on a nifty high-tip on the power play, but his deflection clanked iron).).
- Copp, Stastny, and Ehlers create a good number of high-danger scoring chances while limiting their opponents’, and possess the puck well.
- Now in his sixth NHL season, Nikolaj Ehlers is officially an elite forward and he’s operating at high gear, working the puck into high-danger areas more frequently and using his teammates extremely effectively.
- Using his superb speed and outstanding offensive awareness, Ehlers creates time and space out of nothing, and that is a big reason he leads the team in goals with five and points with 11.
- That led to a pair of first-period power play assists.
- Another clean entry from Ehlers led to the Jets’ second power play goal of that frame.
- Ehlers has really just picked up where he left off last season, in which he fired 25 goals and added 33 apples for 58 points in 71 games
- His disappointing 2018-19 campaign (21 goals and 16 assists for 37 points in 62 games) is a distant memory now
- Will Lowry, Copp, and Ehlers continue to excel in February and capture three star honours again
