Morrissey recorded three assists, including two on the power play, in Friday's 6-0 shutout victory over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey can be a tough player to gauge on a per-game basis. While the top-pairing defenseman has been blanked offensively in 32 games this season, he's earned exactly one point 18 times, and there have been 16 multi-point efforts from Morrissey in 2023-24. On a macro level, he's among the elite blueliners based on eight goals, 48 assists and a plus-22 rating through 66 contests. The alternate captain, who also has 14 power-play points, earns $6.25 million AAV on an eight-year deal that takes him through the 2027-28 season.

Morrissey registered a goal and an assist in the 5-2 win over the Sabres on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey potted his eighth goal of the season to start the third period and tied the game up 2-2. He also added an assist on the Jets first goal, four shots and a plus-1 rating in 24:30 of ice time. This was Morrissey's second multi-point game in a row and his 14th of the season. Fantasy owners should project for Morrissey to maintain his solid offensive performance for the rest of the season - his position on the power play and consistent ice time solidify his value as an every game starter.

Morrissey notched three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
With the Jets down 3-0 after two periods, Morrissey sparked a wild comeback on the road by helping to set up a Kyle Connor tally just 96 seconds into the final frame. The blueliner then had a hand in Mark Scheifele's tying goal and a Nino Niederreiter empty-netter. Morrissey hasn't scored a goal of his own in 19 straight contests, but those with fantasy shares in him haven't been complaining -- he's dished multiple assists in five of the last six games, erupting for 13 points over that blistering stretch.

Morrissey notched an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The loss was not from a lack of effort from Morrissey as he was on the ice for almost half the game, playing 34 shifts while notching 27:21 TOI. His assist late in the third period was too late, as only 12 seconds remained after the Jets cut the lead to 4-2. The 28-year old defenseman added two shots, one hit, a minus-2 rating and two blocked shots. The Jets are off for the NHL All-Star break and will return on Feb. 6 when they visit the Penguins.
