Morrissey (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Flames, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
The Jets have one of the most prolific top lines in the NHL — with only Leon Draisaitl having more goals this season than Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele (29) — and Gabe Vilardi on pace to shatter his career-best (23) with 22 already notched.
Stylistically, the Jets expect a bit of a shift from their two opponents from the home stand in Utah and Calgary. Utah is a team among the National Hockey League’s best in terms of minimizing high-danger chances against (according to Natural Stat Trick), and the game against Calgary was tight right until the Jets broke it open in the third.
Montreal always seems to give Winnipeg a tough test, especially in their own building. The Jets lost 4-3 in a shootout during last year’s annual visit (Laurent Brossoit was in net), and fell 4-1 the previous season (with Hellebuyck between the pipes).
Kyle Connor scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets won their fourth in a row, 4-1 over the Montreal Canadiens.
No good news on this night: Defenceman Kaiden Guhle fell awkwardly in the corner in the last period, clutched his right knee and limped off the ice. The Canadiens later announced he suffered a lower-body injury and will require further evaluation.

Winnipeg Jets' Mark Scheifele (55) celebrates his goal over Montreal Canadiens goaltender Sam Montembeault (35) with teammates Kyle Connor (81) and Gabriel Vilardi (13) during second period NHL hockey action in Montreal on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi.
Kyle Connor scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 on Tuesday.
His second tally of the game, put SKA up by a score of 3-1 at the 15:05 mark of the third period. Demidov was flying, and his off-puck routes were excellent, disappearing then emerging in a high-danger scoring area. Demidov once again outwitted a defender, before firing home a low-blocker wrister off a quick feed in the slot.
