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 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 was not able to contribute to Team Canada at the Olympics after suffering an injury in their opening game, and will remain sidelined when the Jets return to action on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The Jets have recalled Kale Clague from Manitoba (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Morrissey accompanied Team Canada for the Silver Medal performance at the Olympics, but did not play because of an upper-body injury and will remain sidelined for the Jets on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 30-year-old Morrissey is averaging 24:37 time-on-ice and has 42 points (10G / 32A) in 56 games this season.


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.

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.

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.



Schenn has appeared in all eight playoff games for the Jets so far, but it looks like he'll be the one that sits if Josh Morrissey plays in Game 2. Schenn has just one assist and a minus-9 rating in the postseason.

Morrissey missed Game 1 with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Game 7 vs. The Blues. Morrissey skated in his usual spot next to Dylan DeMelo and on PP1 in the morning skate, and head coach Scott Arniel called him probable to play in Game 2.

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.

Morrissey was forced to leave Game 7 of Winnipeg's opening-round series after just 2:09 TOI due to an upper-body injury and was a game-time decision for Game 1 vs. Dallas on Wednesday. The 30-year-old struggled to produce offensively in Winnipeg's opening series, with just three assists and a -5 plus/minus.

Morrissey suffered an upper-body injury in the Jets' Game 7 win over the Blues, but returned to practice on Tuesday. The Jets didn't provide much of an update on his status after the session, so monitor his status during Wednesday's morning skate.



Morrissey missed the first game back after the 4Nations Face-off due to illness, but he's expected to replace Colin Miller in the lineup on Monday. Morrissey, who has seven goals and 39 assists (46 points) in 56 games this season, should re-claim his spot on the PP1 vs. the Sharks.
