Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness takes a leave of absence after his wife’s seizure
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness is taking a leave of absence after his wife had a seizure. The Jets say Judy Bowness remains in a hospital for testing after having a seizure on Sunday night. Associate coach Scott Arniel will serve as interim head coach in his absence. The Jets are off to a 2-3-0 start to the season and play Tuesday against the visiting St. Louis Blues. Bowness is entering his second season with the Jets. He led them to a 46-33-3 record and a playoff berth last season when Winnipeg was eliminated in five games in the first round by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights.
