Jets’ Josh Morrissey Out for the Rest of the Series with Lower-Body Injury

The Winnipeg Jets suffered a significant blow in their battle against the Vegas Golden Knights as they lost their No. 1 defenceman, Josh Morrissey, to a lower-body issue that appears to be related to his right knee. The Jets are now trailing the best-of-seven series 2-1, and Morrissey will miss the rest of the series. Morrissey is a crucial part of the team and an All-Star, which will make it difficult for them to overcome this loss. However, the Jets can draw inspiration from their gutsy effort in Game 3, which saw Neal Pionk take on a heavy load and produce three assists, while Dylan Samberg had a strong performance despite an unfortunate bounce that ended the game in double overtime. The Jets provided a stirring comeback, with goals from Nino Niederreiter, Mark Scheifele, and Adam Lowry, who now leads the team with four goals in the series. Despite the emotional rollercoaster, Lowry is confident that the team can even the series in Game 4 on Monday night.
