Earlier Friday, head coach Scott Arniel said “probably” when asked if Morrissey would return.

Morrissey missed Game 1 of the series with an upper-body injury after exiting 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+.
