Status report
Lowry is traveling on the Jets’ three-game road trip, but the forward will not play at least until Winnipeg hosts the Carolina Hurricanes on Feb. 4. ... Lambert took part in the Jets morning skate Tuesday but will not play; the forward was recalled from Manitoba of the American Hockey League on Monday. … The Canadiens will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 4-3 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. ... Reinbacher was on the ice for Montreal's optional morning skate Tuesday; the defenseman wore a non-contact jersey Monday, when he took part in his first practice since sustaining an injury Sept. 28 that was expected to sideline him for 5-6 months.
