Morrissey (upper body) will return to the lineup Thursday against the Wild, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey missed the last two games of Winnipeg's season-opening four-game road trip, but he's back in there for the home opener. He's the clear-cut top option on the Jets' new-look blue line, at least as long as Dustin Byfuglien (personal) remains away from the team.

Morrissey (upper body) won't suit up for Tuesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following Monday's practice session, Morrissey was given the green light to play versus the Penguins, but it appears he will be held out after dealing with additional symptoms. With the defenseman on the shelf, Carl Dahlstrom will likely see an uptick in ice time while the recently recalled Sami Niku slots into the lineup.

Morrissey (upper body) has been given the green light to suit up versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey missed Sunday's matchup with the Islanders after sustaining an upper-body injury during warmups, but appears to be no worse for the wear. The blueliner should get back to logging over 25 minutes per game, including time with the No. 1 power-play unit. Anthony Bitetto figures to maintain his spot in the lineup due to Dmitry Kulikov's (personal) absence.

Morrissey (upper body) participated in Monday's practice without limitations, Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey was injured during pregame warmups ahead of Sunday's game versus the Islanders, and he was ultimately scratched as a precaution and replaced by Carl Dahlstrom in the lineup. His participation in Monday's practice signals he should be ready for Tuesday's road game versus the Penguins barring a setback.

Morrissey (upper body) was scratched for precautionary reasons before Sunday's contest against the Islanders, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey is considered day-to-day for now but it sounds like he has a good chance at getting back out there for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh. If he can't, Carl Dahlstrom will likely suit up again.

Morrissey suffered an upper-body injury during pregame warmups and won't play Sunday versus the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Carl Dahlstrom will fill in on defense in his place. The severity of Morrissey's injury wasn't revealed, but there should be reports on his status following the game.

Morrissey agreed to terms on an eight-year, $50 million contract extension with Winnipeg on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being limited to just 59 games due to injury last season, Morrissey still managed to set career highs in assists (25), points (31) and minutes per game (22:24). The Calgary native will be expected to take on an even more active role both at even strength and on the man advantage this season following the departure of Jacob Trouba in free agency. If Morrissey can stay healthy, he could challenge for the 50-point mark, especially if he unseats Dustin Byfuglien on the No. 1 power-play unit, and he might see his minutes creep up near the 25-minute per game threshold.

Morrissey missed 20 games due to a shoulder injury, but is expected to be 100 percent for training camp, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey shook off any lingering issues with his shoulder in order to suit up in the postseason. In six matchups with the Blues, the defenseman logged 19:08 of ice time per game and tallied one assist, eight shots and 12 blocks. Even with the injury, the Calgary native set career highs in assists (25), points (31) and average ice time (22:24) and should push for the 40-point mark in 2019-20.

Morrissey posted an assist and two shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Blues in Game 3 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Morrissey missed the last 20 games of the regular season with an upper-body injury, and he hadn't recorded a point since Feb. 10. While he's listed alongside Jacob Trouba on the first pairing, Morrissey's minutes have been limited to an average of 17:45 per game in the series.

Morrissey logged 17:15 of ice time Wednesday, failing to record a point in a 2-1 loss to St. Louis in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday was Morrissey's first action since Feb. 24, with the Jets' blueliner having spent the last month plus a few days out of the lineup with an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old found the scoresheet 31 times in 59 games during the regular season, but after a fruitless performance in Game 1, Morrissey will hope to open his playoff account Friday when the two teams meet for Game 2.
