New Jets defenceman Morrow takes connecting flights to NHL playing time
When the Winnipeg Jets acquired journeyman defenceman Joe Morrow with just moments to spare before the NHL trade deadline earlier this week, they did so with the hope of never having to play him.
Morrow, who came over from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for the Jets’ fourth-round pick this year, was brought in to provide depth on a sturdy blue line. If all was to go well on the injury front — a big if, of course — it’s certain Morrow would have spent the rest of season in the press box.
