Winnipeg Jets
Josh Morrissey (upper body) is week to week, Jets coach Scott Arniel said prior to their game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; CHSN, TSN3). The Jets’ top defenseman, who was previously listed as day to day, was injured after a hit on Colorado Avalanche forward T.J. Hughes in the first period of a 3-2 win Oct. 7. Morrissey played one shift at the beginning of the second period but then left the game and did not return. “We needed some sort of a day-to-day (timeline) to figure out where he’s at,” Arniel said. “Right now, we’re just going week to week on him, kind of play that timeline.” He also said Morrissey, who has three assists in four games this season, will not need surgery.
