Josh Morrissey is surging and looks poised to exceed the 2.5 shots-on-goal mark against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday. 

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey is in top form heading into the matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday and looks ready to surpass the 2.5 shots-on-goal mark. This season, Morrissey has been averaging an impressive 1.98 shots on goal, and over the last five games, he's been averaging a career-best 4.4 shots on goal. He has also been more productive at home, where he's averaging 2.18 shots on goal.

Morrissey has had more than 2.5 shots on goal in 14 games this season and in 5 of his last 10 games. In his last five games, he is averaging 3.2 shots on goal, a significant jump from his season average of 1.98.

Morrissey has been putting up impressive numbers lately. He recently put together a three-game point streak (three goals, two assists) and set a franchise record for assists in a single season by a defenseman in Atlanta Thrashers/Jets history.

Morrissey also showcased his defensive skills in the first period of the last game, making some incredible saves during the team's penalty kill. He blocked one shot with his skate and then deflected another over the glass to draw a whistle and stoppage in play.

Morrissey's offensive production and defensive performance have been stellar throughout the season, and his shot-on-goal numbers continue to climb. With his increased shot-on-goal average, Morrissey looks likely to exceed the 2.5 shots-on-goal mark against Columbus on Thursday night.
