The Winnipeg Jets are going to have to get used to life without Josh Morrissey.

Coach Paul Maurice confirmed Tuesday that the top-pairing defenceman will be out of the lineup until at least early April with an upper-body injury suffered Sunday night in Arizona. That likely means his regular-season is close to over, since the Jets wrap up the 82-game schedule on April 6.

It's a big blow for a team that has stumbled in recent weeks and is already without Dustin Byfuglien and Joe Morrow.
