Morrissey was not able to contribute to Team Canada at the Olympics after suffering an injury in their opening game, and will remain sidelined when the Jets return to action on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The Jets have recalled Kale Clague from Manitoba (AHL) in a corresponding move.
Morrissey accompanied Team Canada for the Silver Medal performance at the Olympics, but did not play because of an upper-body injury and will remain sidelined for the Jets on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 30-year-old Morrissey is averaging 24:37 time-on-ice and has 42 points (10G / 32A) in 56 games this season.
Morrissey got hurt early in Canada's tournament opening win over the Czechs, and will miss their second game vs. Switzerland. Team Canada didn't provide much of an update on Morrissey's status, so it's unclear how many games he will miss. Travis Sanheim will draw into the lineup to replace Morrissey.
Morrissey played just 7:10 TOI before leaving Thursday's game vs. Czechia with an undisclosed injury. If Morrissey misses Friday's game vs. Switzerland, Travis Sanheim will dress as Canada's seventh defenseman. Shea Theodore will presumably take on a bigger role after starting Wednesday's game as the seventh blueliner.
Bjugstad had been used sparingly by the Blues this season and will hope for a bigger role after being acquired in a trade by the New Jersey Devils. The 33-year-old averaged 11:38 time-on-ice and had seven points (6G / 1A) in 35 games with the Blues this season. Luke Glendening will exit the lineup to accommodate Bjugstad's debut.

The consensus was that the Penguins were downgrading between the pipes when they traded Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers for Stuart Skinner, but Skinner has been terrific early in his tenure with his new team. The 27-year-old Skinner has wins in eight of his last nine games (8-1-0), posting a tremendous 2.02 GAA and .917 SV%. The Penguins enter the action on Tuesday with even -105 odds on the road against a New York Islanders team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).
Logan Thompson (upper body) is hopeful to return on Thursday, but with him and Charlie Lindgren (lower body) still sidelined, the Capitals will turn to Stevenson on consecutive nights. The 26-year-old Stevenson was terrific last night in his second start of the season, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders. The Capitals enter Tuesday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a reeling Philadelphia Flyers team that has just two wins in their last 10 games (2-6-2).

Rosen has spent the last six weeks in the AHL and will draw back into the Sabres lineup on Monday against the Florida Panthers. The 22-year-old Rosen has seven points (3G / 4A) in 13 games with the Sabres this season. Konsta Helenius will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Rosen's return.
Logan Thompson (upper body) was back at practice on Monday, but has been ruled out of the team's next two games, targeting a return to the crease on Thursday. As such, third-string goalie Clay Stevenson will return to the crease on Monday against the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old Stevenson made his season debut on Saturday, his second-career NHL appearance, saving 19 of 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Capitals enter Monday's contest as -131 home favourites against an Islanders team whose three-game winning streak was snapped in a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
It's unclear if Logan Thompson is injured, but he was not at Washington's morning skate on Thursday, resulting in the team recalling Stevenson from Hershey (AHL). The 26-year-old Stevenson has a 2.57 GAA and .912 SV% in 24 games (11-8-3) with Hershey (AHL) this season.
Thrun was recalled earlier this week for precautionary reasons, but did not draw into the lineup. He has spent most of the season with the Toronto Marlies, where he has 14 points (3G / 11A) in 28 games.
Phillips played two games with the Jets earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 24-year-old defenseman has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 35 games with Manitoba (AHL) this season.
