The Winnipeg Jets will have to find a way to come back in Game 7 without their top defenceman.
Josh Morrissey was forced to leave in the first period of Sunday's game against St. Louis and did not return for the second period.
Head coach Scott Arniel did not provide an update to the defenceman after the 4-3 double-overtime win, but told reporters he would be re-evaluated on Monday.
Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist hit Morrissey into the boards, which led to the Jets defenceman looking to be in discomfort as he skated back to the bench. Morrissey returned for one more shift after the hit, but then headed to the locker room.
Morrissey played a total of just 2:09 in Game 7 and was on the ice for both of the Blues' goals in the opening period.
The 30-year-old had three assists in the first six games of the Jets' first-round series against the Blues while averaging 23:30 of ice time.
