After spending his first 12 seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, Lewis left town and decided to showcase his talents in Winnipeg. Now that he’s officially earned a roster spot, the 34-year old will attempt to help his new team conquer this shortened 56-game campaign.
Over his 56 games last season, the 6-foot-1 center averaged 11:54 minutes of ice time per game, producing six goals, 12 points, 92 shots on net, 68 hits, 22 blocks, 11 takeaways, and a 38.8% faceoff percentage.
The Jets are scheduled to open their season at Bell MTS Place on Thursday against the Calgary Flames.
