Morrissey (upper-body) will travel on Winnipeg's upcoming road trip.

Morrissey has not played since suffering an upper-body injury three weeks ago. He will accompany the Jets on their upcoming four-game road trip, but his status remains uncertain. The 31-year-old Morrissey has become a reliable point-producing defenseman and power-play quarterback in recent seasons, a role he should be able to return to when he is ready to suit up.

Morrissey is now considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Morrissey exited Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche after just 9:32 on ice with an upper-body injury and has not played since. Head Coach Scott Arniel said Morrissey won't need surgery, but his recovery timeline is longer than expected, week to week. Neal Pionk has been the main beneficiary of Morrissey's absence, being upgraded to the top power-play unit.

Morrissey exited Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche after just 9:32 on ice with an upper-body injury. He will not play on Friday, but it is not expected to be a long-term issue. Expect Neal Pionk to take Morrissey's place on the Jets' top powerplay unit.

Morrissey left Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury and will not return.

Morrissey exited Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche after just 9:32 on ice with an upper-body injury. The team has yet to provide a concrete update, but it can ill-afford losing its power-play quarterback. If Morrissey misses any time, expect Neal Pionk to see more ice time.

Morrissey (upper-body) returned to practice on Friday in a regular jersey and is trending towards a weekend return.

Morrissey was unable to contribute to Team Canada at the Olympics after suffering an injury in their opening game and been sidelined for the Jets since the NHL resumed action. With Neal Pionk also injured, the team is eagerly awaiting Morrissey's return to the lineup and top powerplay unit. The 30-year-old Morrissey has 42 points (10G / 32A) in 56 games this season.

Morrissey (upper-body) is hopeful to return by the weekend.

Morrissey was unable to contribute to Team Canada at the Olympics after suffering an injury in their opening game and has missed three games for the Jets since. With Neal Pionk also injured, Logan Stanley has filled in as the team's quarterback on the top powerplay unit. Still, they will be eager to regain Morrissey's services, hopefully by this weekend. The 30-year-old Morrissey has 42 points (10G / 32A) in 56 games this season.

Morrissey (upper-body) has been placed on IR.

Morrissey (undisclosed) will not play Friday vs. Switzerland.

Morrissey got hurt early in Canada's tournament opening win over the Czechs, and will miss their second game vs. Switzerland. Team Canada didn't provide much of an update on Morrissey's status, so it's unclear how many games he will miss. Travis Sanheim will draw into the lineup to replace Morrissey.

Josh Morrissey
Morrissey (undisclosed) left Thursday's game vs. Czechia and will not return.

Morrissey played just 7:10 TOI before leaving Thursday's game vs. Czechia with an undisclosed injury. If Morrissey misses Friday's game vs. Switzerland, Travis Sanheim will dress as Canada's seventh defenseman. Shea Theodore will presumably take on a bigger role after starting Wednesday's game as the seventh blueliner.

Josh Morrissey
Morrissey (undisclosed) is expected to play vs. Edmonton on Monday after missing Sunday's practice.

Morrissey suffered an injury scare late in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild, which prevented him from practicing on Sunday. That said, he is expected to play on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 30-year-old defenseman is having another great season, scoring 30 points (6G / 24A) in 36 games.

Josh Morrissey
Morrissey (upper-body) is probable to play in Game 2 vs. Dallas.

Morrissey (upper-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 2 on Friday vs. Dallas.

Morrissey was a game-time decision for Game 1 but was unable to suit up and will return to a similar "up in the air" status ahead of Game 2 vs. Dallas on Friday. The 30-year-old defender went down early in Game 7 of Winnipeg's opening round vs. St. Louis and has been a massive loss without his presence in the lineup. His status is expected to be updated in Winnipeg's warm up on Friday night.
