Josh Morrissey Injury: Likely to miss time after Olympics

Morrissey (upper body) will likely be sidelined when the Jets resume play this week, TSN.ca reports Monday.

Morrissey missed five games at the Olympics after sustaining an upper-body injury during Canada's tournament opener, and the issue is expected to force him to miss some time in the NHL. The blueliner still needs to be evaluated by the Jets' medical staff once he returns from Italy, but head coach Scott Arniel said Monday that Morrissey has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Canucks but could join the team at some point during the three-game road trip immediately following the Olympic break.
