Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey exited Game 3 against the Vegas Golden Knights with a lower-body injury.
Morrissey played just 1:14 before leaving the game. The team confirmed he won't return to the contest.
The 28-year-old appeared to sustain the injury in a collision with Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud.
This appears to be the play where Morrissey's injury occurred. He gave it a go on a power play shift later on, but wasn't able to continue.#NHLJets down to five defencemen for the rest of Game 3. https://t.co/1vpppKMKDr pic.twitter.com/h4Y15gQhQf
