Adam Lowry vs. Michael Kesselring Winnipeg Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey has been named the NHL's Third Star of the Week. Thanks to his performance over the past week, Morrissey has become the third Jets player to take such an honour this season (Kyle Connor and Connor Hellebuyck). This week alone, the 28-year-old has amassed seven points in four games, helping the Jets to a 3-1-0 record to jump into first place in the Central Division. Dating back to his last eight games, Morrissey has 16 total points. Overall, he's at eight goals and 51 points in 60 games this season, just shy of the pace set in his breakout 2022-23 campaign, where he finished with 16 goals and 76 points in 78 games. The Calgary, Alberta product sits seventh league-wide in scoring among defencemen, and is just the third blueliner in franchise history to hit 50 points in consecutive years. It is the second time that Morrissey has been named a Star of the Week, after taking the No. 2 spot in November last season. Morrissey and the Jets next face the Seattle Kraken at home on Tuesday night.
