Jets confirm the bad news for Josh Morrissey.

The Winnipeg Jets have just confirmed some bad news.

According to an official announcement from Jets public relations, Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey will not return to Game 3 after he suffered an unspecified injury in the first period of today's game.

It is unclear exactly how Morrissey was injured, but prior to leaving the ice he was involved in an awkward collision with Las Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud. Subsequently, Morrissey struggled to get off the ice before taking a seat on the Jets bench, but he would not return to the ice.

Morrissey was on the ice for just his second shift of the game when he suffered the injury.
