Rookie defenceman plays in all 82 games

When Josh Morrissey arrived at training camp with the Winnipeg Jets last fall, his goal was simply to stick around as long as he could.

On Saturday, Morrissey, the Jets’ rookie defenceman, was one of just four players — and the only defenceman — to play all 82 games for Winnipeg, capping off the season-long streak in with a 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators in the regular-season finale.
