The Winnipeg Jets lost their best lefty defenseman, Josh Morrissey, to a non-major injury this past week. I hope he’ll be back soon, but due to the uncertainty that he would even miss the Blues game, I think we’ll be okay.
Joseph Morrow is also sidelined with an injury, and while I thought he played a perfectly cromulent game, I’d prefer to see him on the third pairing. Last night against the Blues, Sami Niku played on the top pair.
I like Niku and I hope he develops into a usable player but I do not want to see him on the top line for a team with championship aspirations right now.
