Morrissey scored the game-winning goal, registered an assist and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey played the hero in Saturday's contest with the game-winning goal less than two minutes into the extra period. Saturday's contest marked Morrissey's return to the lineup after he sustained an upper-body injury in Canada's first game of round-robin play at the Olympics. With the Jets, the 30-year-old blueliner has 11 goals, 44 points, 109 shots on net and 94 blocked shots across 57 games this season. He profiles as a high-level fantasy option among defensemen for the remainder of the regular season as the Jets push for a playoff spot.

Morrissey (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey's placement on IR confirms that the blueliner will miss a period of time, which coincides with earlier reports Monday. The 30-year-old defenseman missed each of Canada's last five games at the 2026 Winter Olympics after leaving their first contest following a collision with Czechia's Ondrej Palat. Morrissey has compiled 10 goals, 42 points, 104 shots on net and 94 blocked shots across 56 games for Winnipeg this season. The Jets' task of rejoining the wild-card race in the Western Conference will be difficult without their lead defenseman, who will miss at least three games. His earliest chance to return is March 3 versus Chicago.

Morrissey (upper body) will likely be sidelined when the Jets resume play this week, TSN.ca reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey missed five games at the Olympics after sustaining an upper-body injury during Canada's tournament opener, and the issue is expected to force him to miss some time in the NHL. The blueliner still needs to be evaluated by the Jets' medical staff once he returns from Italy, but head coach Scott Arniel said Monday that Morrissey has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Canucks but could join the team at some point during the three-game road trip immediately following the Olympic break.

Morrissey (undisclosed) will not return to Thursday's clash versus Czechia at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey seemed to get hurt on his last shift of the first stanza when he collided with Ondrej Palat.

Shea Theodore, who was Canada's seventh defenseman Thursday, replaced Morrissey on the blue line. Canada faces Switzerland on Friday, and Morrissey's status for that matchup isn't yet clear.
