Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel says Josh Morrissey could be a player tomorrow

On NHL Trade Deadline day the focus is really what is happening off the ice not on it. However, here in Winnipeg they did hold an optional practice following last night’s 4-1 win over the Lightning and ahead of the game tomorrow night against the Canucks.

This is what Scott Arniel had to say:

“He’s out of the yellow jersey so there’s a chance he could play tomorrow.”

The Albertan hasn’t played since the first game at the Olympics for Canada back on February 12th.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
