Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 42 shots in the Jets win in Columbus on Sunday. Hellebuyck has gone 4-3-0 with a 3.30 GAA and .914 SV% in his last seven starts.

Morrissey suffered an upper-body injury after being hit by Vinnie Hinostroza on Sunday and will miss the entire month of March. Head coach Paul Maurice his “window” to return “opens in April.” The Jets obviously knew this was the case, which is why they went out and got Nathan Beaulieu and Bogdan Kiselevich on Monday.

Morrissey suffered an upper-body injury after being in Arizona on Sunday and there is fear that he could miss an extended period of time.
