Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey suited up for Friday night's Game 2 against the Dallas Stars, his first action since exiting Game 7 of the first round with an injury.

Morrissey took his usual place alongside Dylan DeMelo as well as top power-play unit. Luke Schenn was removed from of the lineup.

The 30-year-old racked up 14 goals and 62 points in 80 contests during the regular season and added three assists in the first round. Morrissey also paced all Jets skaters by playing a career-high 24:23 per game in the regular season.

Winnipeg welcomed Mark Scheifele back from injury in Game 1. Dallas leads the series 1-0.
