Jets' Arniel: Morrissey 'probably' back for Game 2 vs. Stars
Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel said defenseman Josh Morrissey will "probably" play in Friday's Game 2 versus the Dallas Stars, according to TSN's John Lu.
Morrissey missed Winnipeg's Game 1 loss versus Dallas after sustaining an apparent injury in the Jets' dramatic Game 7 triumph over the St. Louis Blues.

However, Morrissey took his usual place alongside Dylan DeMelo at Friday's practice and quarterbacked the top power-play unit, The Athletic's Murat Ates reports. Luke Schenn is projected to come out of the lineup.
The 30-year-old racked up 14 goals and 62 points in 80 contests during the regular season and added three assists in the first round. Morrissey also paced all Jets skaters by playing a career-high 24:23 per game in the regular season.
Winnipeg welcomed Mark Scheifele back from injury in Game 1.
