LOS ANGELES — Adam Lowry had dinner with his folks Tuesday night and then took on his dad in an NHL hockey game Wednesday.
Not a typical 24 hours for any family, let alone the Lowrys.
Indeed, the Winnipeg Jets' battle with the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center was a special one for the Lowry clan. While Adam was the middle man on the third line for the visitors, his father, Dave, stood behind the Kings' bench as an assistant to head coach John Stevens.
Dave, who joined the L.A. organization at the end of May, played 1,084 NHL regular-season games and 111 more in the post-season with five teams and reached the Stanley Cup final with the Florida Panthers in 1996.
