Winnipeg Jets vs. Montreal Canadiens - Game Highlights

Rasmus Kupari - Ruled out through breakKupari (shoulder) will not be available until after the Christmas break, despite getting on the ice with a non-contact jersey Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

ImpactKupari notched just one point in 15 games prior to getting hurt, so few fantasy players will be impacted by his continued absence. Even once given the all-clear, Kupari is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and could struggle for regular minutes.

Josh Morrissey - Absent from practiceMorrissey didn't practice Tuesday after taking a puck to the face against Montreal on Monday, John Lu of TSN reports.

ImpactMorrissey was able to finish the game versus the Habs, logging 22:29 of ice time in which he recorded one assist, four shots and three blocks. If Morrissey were to miss any time, it would likely mean a promotion to the No. 1 power-play unit for Neal Pionk. For his part, the 28-year-old Morrissey is stuck in a five-game goal drought but has picked up five helpers over that stretch.
