It seems that the Winnipeg Jets have ruled out the worst-case scenario when it comes to their No. 1 defenceman.

Adam Lowry left the game after the first period and things fell apart from there for the Winnipeg Jets in a 5-2 loss Monday night.

Morrissey finished fifth in Norris voting in 2022-23, Bowness' first season as Jets coach, and seventh last season. It won't be a surprise if Morrissey is in the Norris conversation again this season, as he continues to be one of the top defensemen for the Jets, who host the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; SN1, ALT, NHLN, KTVD).

The jubilation was somewhat tempered by the fact that top pairing left side defenceman Josh Morrissey left the game in the 2nd after colliding with Mark Scheifele, falling and hitting the goal post hard with his leg. He came back for one shift and then left the game for good and did not return. Here was the play:

Josh Morrissey probably doesn’t need reminders of the 2018 playoff run, but he’s been getting them on a regular basis lately. The Winnipeg Jets defenceman has seen former blue-line buddies ...

Dylan DeMelo scored with 27 seconds left to play to give the Winnipeg Jets a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken.

Connor Hellebuyck became the third-fastest goalie to reach 300 career wins while Josh Morrissey left the game late in the second period with a lower-body injury.

High marks for Connor Hellebuyck and Josh Morrissey, but where do the rest of the goaltending and defence stand halfway through the season?

Morgan Barron and Josh Morrissey scored 16 seconds apart to help Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck record his 300th NHL career win 5-2 over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.

The Winnipeg Jets will welcome back Dylan Samberg, according to HC Scott Arniel, but will have to patiently wait for the status of Josh Morrissey.
