Winnipeg Jets' defenseman Josh Morrissey has been ruled out for the remainder of their first-round NHL playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights after suffering a lower-body injury in Game 3 on Saturday.
Jets' coach Rick Bowness made the announcement shortly after Winnipeg's 5-4 loss in double overtime to the Golden Knights, to put them down 2-1 in the series.
Winnipeg had trailed Vegas 4-1 in Game 3 before mounting a furious comeback that forced the matchup into extra time. And the Jets did it while skating primarily with just five defensemen after Morrissey left the game on his first shift.
