Instead, Bowness will remain in Winnipeg as a result of a positive COVID-19 test on Friday that forced him to miss the Jets’ season-opening win over the Rangers.
A day before Bowness tested positive, The Dallas Morning News spoke with him on Thursday afternoon about the scheduled trip to Dallas. Under Bowness, the Stars went 89-62-25 during the regular season. They won three of their five playoff series, and missed the postseason in 2021. He championed a defensive style of play that kept the puck out of the net, but also dried up the team’s offense, a philosophy that led to occasional boos at the AAC towards the end of his Stars tenure.“I didn’t go in asking for an extension,” Bowness said. “They weren’t offering me one. So it’s a mutual parting of ways.
“You learn to ignore the noise around and you focus on doing your job,” Bowness said. “It’s a divisional game, and that’s who we have to look at it. You get to say hello to people, but we’re going in there to play a divisional game and we have to be ready.”
