Josh Morrissey exits Game 7 with injury against Blues

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey exited Game 7 against the St. Louis Blues after taking a hard hit from Oskar Sundqvist in the first period and did not return to the bench for the second period. Morrissey appeared to aggravate the injury after delivering a hit of his own later in the period before leaving the game, compounding Winnipeg's early 2-0 deficit. His absence, alongside the already-injured Mark Scheifele, delivered a significant blow to the Jets, who relied on Morrissey for his defensive presence, leadership, and contributions on both ends of the ice. Morrissey had three assists in the series and was a key figure in terms of ice time and overall impact for the team. The Jets did not provide an immediate update on Morrissey's condition, but his injury was widely seen as a potential turning point in a crucial playoff elimination game.
