Jets' Scheifele, Morrissey, Stanley all day-to-day, GTDs for Game 1
Published
Mark Scheifele, Josh Morrissey and Logan Stanley are all considered day-to-day after skating in non-contact sweaters on Tuesday, head coach Scott Arniel told reporters.
He added that all three players will be game-time decisions for Wednesday's second-round opener against the Dallas Stars.
The trio missed Sunday's Game 7 against the St. Louis Blues. Morrissey and Stanley were among the first on the ice for Tuesday's optional session and left before things started, while Scheifele participated in practice. He skated on Monday as well, while this was the first time back on the ice for both Morrissey and Stanley since being injured.
The 32-year-old Scheifele was held out of Games 6 and 7 with an undisclosed injury that forced him out of Game 5 earlier in the week. Jets head coach Scott Arniel designated Scheifele as a game-time decision on Saturday but ruled him out of Sunday's winner-take-all matchup with the Blues early the following day.
Scheifele had two goals and four assists for six points through five games of the series before the injury.
Morrissey was forced out of Sunday's Game 7 with an upper-body injury. Arniel told reporters that he will be re-evaluated on Monday and is considered day-to-day for the time being. He played 2:09 before leaving in the opening period.
Stanley missed Sunday's game with an undisclosed injury and did not take part in the Jets' gameday skate earlier that day.
Morrissey had three assists with 11 shots on goal during the Jets' first-round series. Stanley suited up in five of the seven games, tallying one shot and 10 hits.
