Top Jets Defenseman Morrissey Out for Series With Lower-Body Injury
- Josh Morrissey, the Winnipeg Jets' number one defenseman, was injured in Game 3 and ruled out for the remainder of the first-round playoff series.
- Morrissey collided knee-to-knee with Vegas' Zach Whitecloud and appeared to hurt his right leg.
- The Jets mounted a comeback without Morrissey but ultimately lost Game 3 in overtime.
- The loss of Morrissey leaves a major void on the Jets' blue line that will be difficult to fill.
- The series is now 3-0 in favor of Vegas, adding even more pressure to Winnipeg to win Game 4 with Morrissey sidelined.
