Although the final word won’t come until sometime on Sunday, all signs point to Josh Morrissey returning to the lineup against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey could return to the lineup Sunday against the Tampa Bay Lightning after missing 13 games with a right wrist injury. Head coach Scott Arniel noted that while Morrissey has not yet received official medical clearance, he participated in Saturday's practice on the top power-play unit alongside regular partner Dylan DeMelo.
Morrissey had three assists in four games before being injured on October 7 against the Colorado Avalanche. Meanwhile, defenseman Elias Salomonsson remains sidelined indefinitely due to personal matters, while goaltender Stuart Skinner is expected to start for Winnipeg.
