Winnipeg Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey has declared himself fully healthy for training camp after suffering a season-ending lower-body injury in the playoffs in April.
Morrissey was injured in Game 3 of the Jets' first-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights, missing the final two games as Winnipeg was eliminated. ."Obviously, it's kind of the worst time of year to get hurt. [You] play all year and compete to have that opportunity in the playoffs. But at the same time, in a way it's better that you have months to recover and you're not rushing back.
The 28-year-old is coming off a breakout campaign, having posted career highs with 16 goals and 76 points over 78 games last season. His efforts were rewarded as he finished fifth in Norris Trophy voting. General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff traded centre Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings in June in exchange for a package of Gabriel Vilardi, Alex Iafallo and Rasmus Kupari, and a 2024 second-round pick.
"I think everyone knew there were probably some changes on the horizon. There always is in the NHL," Morrissey said."We knew there would probably be some big moves.
