Morrissey (knee) stated Tuesday that he will not require surgery for the injury he sustained in Game 6 against the Stars, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey also said that his knee injury probably would have kept him sidelined for the remainder of the playoffs had the Jets advanced past the Stars. It's unclear if Morrissey will be ready for the start of training camp in September, but he has plenty of time to attempt to make a full recovery. The left-shot blueliner has two seasons remaining on the eight-year, $50 million contract he signed with Winnipeg in September of 2019.

Morrissey sustained a knee injury in Saturday's Game 6 loss to the Stars, and head coach Scott Arniel specified that the injury is "not good," Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey was injured when Mikko Rantanen fell on his leg in the second period. Given the update from Arniel, it's likely Morrissey would have missed some time had the Jets been able to extend their season. The severity of the injury may be revealed once the defenseman is evaluated back in Winnipeg. If surgery is required, this injury may impact his availability for training camp and the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

Morrissey notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey has earned a helper in three straight games after missing the series opener. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to six assists, 16 shots on net, 18 hits, 17 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 10 playoff outings. He'll need to be at his best for the rest of the second round, as the Jets are facing elimination down 3-1 in the series after Tuesday's loss.

Morrissey threaded an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey's hands and vision were on full display when he danced around the Stars' Colin Blackwell inside the blue line and found Nino Niederreiter for a one-timer to tie the game at 2-2, but the Jets were blanked by Jake Oettinger the rest of the way. Morrissey has earned a helper in back-to-back outings after sitting out Game 1 due to an upper-body injury, and he'll be heavily relied upon for offense again in Game 4 on Tuesday as the Jets try to avoid a 3-1 series deficit. The 30-year-old defenseman has logged no less than 22:39 of ice time in both matchups since returning to the lineup, so he doesn't seem to be bothered by the injury that knocked him out of Game 7 in the first round against St. Louis.

Morrissey logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey missed the opening game of the second round due to the upper-body injury he sustained in Game 7 versus the Blues. The 30-year-old looked fine Friday, logging 22:39 of ice time in his return after the brief absence. The defenseman has been a little quiet this postseason, earning four helpers, 12 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over eight appearances. Even with less offense, he's in no danger of losing his top-pairing spot.

Morrissey (upper body) is set to return to the lineup for Friday's Game 2 versus the Stars, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey missed nearly two whole games after getting hurt early in Game 7 of the first round versus the Blues. The 30-year-old will resume his top-pairing role and retake his place on the first power-play unit. The Jets are working from behind after dropping Game 1 to the Stars by a 3-2 score Wednesday, but getting Morrissey back should help them in all zones.

Morrissey (upper body) is a game-time decision ahead of Friday's Game 2 versus Dallas, according to John Lu of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey was injured in Game 7 versus St. Louis and sat out Game 1 on Wednesday versus the Stars. Morrissey will quarterback the Jets' top power play, should he return Friday. He had three assists in the opening round of the playoffs, after potting 14 goals and adding 48 assists in 80 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Morrissey (upper body) won't play in Wednesday's Game 1 versus the Stars, John Lu of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey was considered a game-time decision but was in a non-contact jersey during Tuesday's optional skate. The 30-year-old defenseman will be forced to miss at least one game after suffering the injury in Game 7 of the first round versus the Blues. Haydn Fleury is set to be in the lineup to cover Morrissey's absence.

Morrissey (upper body) is day-to-day and is shaping up to be a game-time decision for Game 1 versus Dallas on Wednesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey participated in Tuesday's optional skate while wearing a non-contact jersey. He logged only 2:09 of playing time in Sunday's 4-3 double-overtime win over St. Louis in Game 7 after getting hurt in the first period. The 30-year-old blueliner has three assists, 11 shots on goal, 10 blocked shots and 15 hits through seven appearances this postseason. If Morrissey and Logan Stanley (undisclosed) are unavailable for Wednesday's matchup, Haydn Fleury and Colin Miller could be in the lineup versus the Stars.

Head coach Scott Arniel relayed after Sunday's 4-3 double-overtime win over the Blues in Game 7 that Morrissey (upper body) will be re-evaluated Monday, according to John Lu of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Arniel didn't provide a substantial update other than to say that Morrissey's status will be assessed Monday, so the left-shot blueliner should be considered day-to-day ahead of Winnipeg's second-round series versus Dallas, which begins Wednesday. If Morrissey is forced to miss any time, Neal Pionk, who logged three assists (one on the power play) and 46:15 of ice time in Sunday's win, would most likely quarterback the No. 1 power-play unit. Morrissey accounted for three helpers and a minus-5 rating over seven appearances against St. Louis in the first round.
