The Winnipeg Jets likely will get a key blue-liner back for their pivotal Game 2 matchup with the Dallas Stars.
When asked if Morrissey will return Friday night, coach Scott Arniel said "probably."
Morrissey missed Game 1 of the series with an upper body injury.
Morrissey exited Game 7 against the St. Louis Blues in the first period following a hit into the boards from Oskar Sundqvist.
The 30-year-old had three assists in the first six games of the Jets' first-round series while averaging 23:30 of ice time. In 80 regular-season games, Morrissey recorded 14 goals and 48 assists.
Dallas won Game 1 by a 3-2 score Wednesday on the strength of Mikko Rantanen's second straight hat trick.
Game 2 goes Friday at 9:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. CT, with live coverage available on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
