Josh Morrissey calls out Jets' issues fighting through adversity in the 2025-26 season
Tonight, Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey discussed the team's struggles with overcoming adversity to start the 2025-26 season.
The Winnipeg Jets have been ravaged by injuries in 2025 beginning with injuries to captain Adam Lowry and Cole Perfetti.
This was then followed by a devastating injury to reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck more recently.
As a result of all of these injuries, the Jets currently sit two points out of a Stanley Cup Playoff spot.
In a recent interview, star defenseman Josh Morrissey discussed the team's struggles and inability to handle adversity.

During a recent interview, Morrissey admitted that even with the difficult schedule in recent weeks the Jets need to find a way to win games.
He believes it comes down to giving better effort and fighting through when things get the most difficult.
Part of being a great team is handling (the) schedule.
You might not feel your best, you might not be snapping it around like you do when you are on your 'A' game, but you have to find ways to stay in hockey games and push games to OT and get those greasy wins.
I don't think that was something we have done a great job of lately.

Luckily for the Jets the season is still young and they remain in the hunt for a Stanley Cup Playoff spot but things need to improve quickly if they want to remain in the race.
As the season continues, it will be interesting to see how Morrissey and the Jets adapt their approach to handling adversity.
