Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (upper body) will be re-evaluated on Monday after he was injured in Sunday's Game 7 against the St. Louis Blues. Morrissey was forced to exit the contest after taking a hit from Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist along the boards. He logged only four shifts and 2:09 of ice time. Following Morrissey's exit, Neal Pionk led the blue line and did an incredible job during the team's comeback victory, posting three assists in 46:15 of action. Dylan Samberg also logged over 40 minutes in the double-overtime win. The Jets start their second-round series against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday, giving Morrissey some time to recover. However, if he has to miss additional time, Pionk would once again face a heavy workload.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (illness) will be back in action on Monday against the San Jose Sharks. After falling sick, Morrissey missed Thursday's 4 Nations Face-Off final and was also unavailable as Winnipeg continued its season on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. However, Morrissey has been cleared for action on Monday, replacing Ville Heinola in the lineup. Morrissey is tied sixth among all blue-liners in scoring, boasting 46 points (seven goals, 36 assists) through 56 appearances. However, the 29-year-old has gone scoreless in back-to-back games with the Jets and didn't register any points in three 4 Nations Face-Off outings with Team Canada.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (illness) will miss Thursday's 4 Nations Face-Off finale against Team USA. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Morrissey is battling an illness. The Canadians lost Shea Theodore (upper body) early in the tournament, and Morrissey's absence is another setback for the blue line. Thomas Harley of the Dallas Stars will join the lineup as Morrissey's replacement, marking his second appearance in the 4 Nations Face-Off. Harley also played in Saturday's matchup against the U.S. He went scoreless in 18:17 of play, finishing with two shots on goal, three blocked shots, one hit, and a minus-one rating.
