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.

Morrissey recorded an assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey has a goal and an assist over the last two contests after going five games without a point. The 28-year-old helped out on a Gabriel Vilardi to tie the game late in the third period. Morrissey has rarely had cold spells this season, racking up 32 points (eight on the power play), 110 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-24 rating through 41 outings. He's a little behind the pace that saw him rack up 76 points in 78 games a year ago, but he's still among the top overall blueliners in fantasy.

Morrissey, who was struck in the face by the puck during Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal, should be good to play Wednesday against Detroit after participating in the morning skate, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey skipped Tuesday's optional skate because of the swelling, but it appears that will be the extent of the time he'll take off due to the injury. He has five goals, 26 points, 24 PIM, 20 hits and 42 blocks in 29 contests this year.

Morrissey didn't practice Tuesday after taking a puck to the face against Montreal on Monday, John Lu of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrissey was able to finish the game versus the Habs, logging 22:29 of ice time in which he recorded one assist, four shots and three blocks. If Morrissey were to miss any time, it would likely mean a promotion to the No. 1 power-play unit for Neal Pionk. For his part, the 28-year-old Morrissey is stuck in a five-game goal drought but has picked up five helpers over that stretch.
