The Winnipeg Jets are fighting to keep their season alive in Game 6 against the Dallas Stars. A win forces a winner-take-all Game 7 back in Winnipeg, where the team has been dominant as of late. Winnipeg and Dallas are tied heading into the third period, but the Jets may need to proceed without defenseman Josh Morrissey.

Morrissey was battling for a puck in the second period. During this battle, Stars star Mikko Rantanen slipped and collided with Morrissey’s leg. The Jets defenseman went down the tunnel following this collision, appearing to have difficulty putting weight on one of his legs. The Winnipeg star did not return to the bench for the third period.

This is a developing story. More to come.
