As the Jets travel tonight to a road game in New York, Bowness will stay behind in Winnipeg. It's very encouraging to hear that this is only a minor procedure. Based on the tone of the statement, it feels like Bowness might not be away from the team for long. In his absence, assistant coach Scott Arniel will serve as the team's interim head coach. The team provided no timeline for return for Bowness.
For both St. Louis and Bowness, hockey fans everywhere are sending their well wishes. They're two great NHL coaches and crucial to their team's success, so hopefully, all is well with both and they could return soon.
