Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey was downgraded to week-to-week status in mid-October following a wrist injury sustained during a game against the Colorado Avalanche on October 7. While surgery was not expected, the recovery period proved longer than the team’s initial day-to-day assessment.

By early November, Morrissey appeared to be nearing a return to the lineup after missing 13 games. He participated in drills with the top power play unit and his regular partner, Dylan DeMelo. Head coach Scott Arniel indicated that a decision regarding his availability for a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning would be determined following a morning skate.
