The 6-foot defenceman skated one shift after the collision but left the game after only 1:14 of ice time.
Morrisey had a career season with the Jets where he registered 16 goals and 76 points in 78 games. In the playoffs, he has one assist in two games.
The Golden Knights held a 2-1 lead over the Jets after the first period with both teams looking to grab a 2-1 series lead.
