Morrissey, Kostalek have long way to go before claiming permanent spot with Jets

Maybe someday they’ll be a blue-line pairing for the Jets in the NHL, but beginning this fall the race will be on between Josh Morrissey and Jan Kostalek to see which of the prospects first gets a permanent stall in the Winnipeg Jets dressing room.

Morrissey of the Kelowna Rockets and the Rimouski Oceanic’s Kostalek are competing against each other at the Memorial Cup this week and they’ll likely be doing the same for the next number of years within the Jets’ organization.
