Winnipeg Jets defenceman Morrissey could be in lineup Sunday after missing 13 games
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey, who has missed the past 13 games due to a right wrist injury, could return to the lineup against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Head coach Scott Arniel has not yet confirmed Morrissey's return, but the defenseman has been running the top power play unit and skating with regular defense partner Dylan DeMelo during Saturday's workout.
Morrissey, who had three assists in four games at the start of the season, is a key player for the Jets and his return will provide a boost in both offensive and defensive aspects. The Jets host the Lightning at Canada Life Centre, aiming to continue their recent winning streak.
