Around the Jets: Morrissey to IR, Clague recalled from Moose

The Winnipeg Jets announced this morning that defenseman Josh Morrissey has been placed on injured reserve retroactive to February 12, and that defenseman Kale Clague has been recalled from the Manitoba Moose.

TRANSACTIONS: The #NHLJets have recalled D – Kale Clague from the Manitoba Moose (AHL). The Jets have also placed D – Josh Morrissey on injured reserve retroactive to February 12.

It was already confirmed on Monday that Morrissey will do so miss Wednesday’s game in Vancouver against the Canucks. The Olympians flew from Italy to Miami due to weather conditions in the northeastern US, so Morrissey still needs to be evaluated by Winnipeg doctors to determine the exact severity of the injury. All that is known at this time is that it is a upper body injury.

As a result, the Jets placed Morrissey on IR retroactive to February 12, the date he suffered the injury in his first match at the Olympics while representing Canada.

The 27-year-old Clague leads Manitoba defensemen in both goals and assists (8G, 13A) and is fifth in points among the Jets’ AHL affiliate with 21 points in 44 games.

The former Brandon Wheat King is the third defenseman currently recalled to the Jets, joining Elias Salomonsson and Ville Heinola.

Clague was drafted 51st overall in the second round of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by Los Angeles.
