The Winnipeg Jets‘ blue line could look much different in Game 2.
Morrissey exited Game 7 against the St. Louis Blues in the first period following a hit into the boards from Oskar Sundqvist.
He had three assists in the first six games of the Jets’ first-round series while averaging 23:30 of ice time. In 80 regular-season games, the 30-year-old recorded 14 goals and 48 assists.
Stanley has played in five games this post-season, recording no points, a minus-2 rating and 42 penalty minutes. He was replaced by Haydn Fleury, who played 33:02 in the double-OT Game 7 victory.
Dallas won Game 1 by a 3-2 score Wednesday on the strength of Mikko Rantanen’s second-straight hat trick.
Game 2 goes Friday at 9:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. CT, with live coverage available on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
