Jets' Josh Morrissey Day-to-Day After Hit From Behind, Misses Practice

Coach Scott Arniel condemned the missed call as a terrible non-call.

Overview

  • The 30-year-old defenceman skipped Sunday’s skate after a late check from behind by Joel Eriksson Ek in the loss to Minnesota.
  • Arniel said Morrissey is considered day-to-day after waking up sore, leaving his availability against Edmonton undecided.
  • Dylan DeMelo’s retaliation drew a late penalty that set up the Wild’s tying goal before Winnipeg fell 4-3 in overtime.
  • Despite the hit, Morrissey took a shift in overtime during the sequence that preceded Minnesota’s winner.
  • At practice, Haydn Fleury skated with DeMelo on the top pair, with Dylan Samberg cited as another option if Morrissey cannot play.
