Just like everyone else on the Winnipeg Jets, Josh Morrissey must be feeling seasick as the Colorado Avalanche come at him in wave after wave.  

But the smooth-skating defenceman would never show it, and he continued to play his steady game in the face of growing adversity.  

He scored his second goal of the series on Friday, getting a point shot past Colorado goalie Alexandar Georgiev on a second-period power play, and finished the game with both a positive plus-minus (plus-1) and a positive Corsi (55.81%). 

The Avalanche scored six goals, three at five-on-five, two on the power play and one when the Jets had an empty net, and Morrissey wasn’t on the ice for any of them. 

He was on the ice for both Jets goals, including a second-period marker by Tyler Toffoli that tied the game at 1-1. He had five shot attempts in the game, two shots on goal and was credited with three hits.  

So far in the series, Morrissey has two goals and an assist, a minus-1 rating and a Corsi (48.21%). That’s not a particularly good number but it’s the best on the team, other thsn defenceman Nate Schmidt, who has only played one game.  

All in all, Morrissey gets a B grade for his performance in Friday’s game.
