Winnipeg Jets announced defenseman Josh Morrissey left Saturday’s Game 6 loss against the Dallas Stars after a collision with Mikko Rantanen late in the second period.

Morrissey didn’t return to the game and was seen favoring his left leg while leaving the ice.

“Not good,” Jets head coach Scott Arniel said about Morrissey’s injury during his postgame comments.

The 30-year-old blueliner led all Jets defensemen with 62 points during the regular season.

Morrissey also led the team in average ice time at 24:23 per game.

He recorded six assists through 12 playoff games this postseason.

Morrissey has finished in the top seven in Norris Trophy voting in each of the past two seasons.
