This evening, reports have confirmed that Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron will be placed in concussion protocol after a hard hitting fight.
The Winnipeg Jets this season have showed a lack of toughness and resiliency as their season has gone on.
Due to the lack of urgency the Jets find themselves out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and without a way back in.
Last night, the problems regarding the Jets character and team toughness continued as Colorado Avalanche tough guy Josh Manson took out Morgan Barron.
Manson landed a massive hit on Barron and no one came to the veteran forward’s aide meaning he had to stick up for himself in a fight.
In that fight, Manson took down Barron with a big right hand punch after which Barron never returned.
After the game, head coach Scott Arniel provided an unfortunate update on Barron’s health going forward as he has been placed in concussion protocol.

According to Arniel, Barron will now have to go through the concussion protocol process before returning.
This means that Barron will be out for at least a week as he goes through the protocol.
Before his injury, Barron played 63 games with the Jets and amassed 23 points and was a crucial part of the team’s bottom-six.
Hopefully, Barron can return on a good note and end the season well with the Jets despite being out of the playoffs.
As more information is provided on Barron’s health and potential return to the lineup we will pass that information along to you.
