The popular sporting video game series by EA Sports, NHL 26, is set for a September 12 release for Playstation and XBOX.
Over the past week, the software developer has begun unveiling its rankings for each different playing position in the game.
Among those listed within the Top-10 at each position will be a handful of Winnipeg Jets players.
The first position ranking provided by EA Sports was that of defencemen. Not only did the game provide its Top-10 defencemen overall, it further broke down the blueliners based on which side of the ice they suit up on.
Cracking the Top-10 left defencemen list was Winnipeg Jets alternate captain Josh Morrissey. After earning sixth-place on the NHL Network's annual list of defenders, the 30-year-old Calgary product came in at No. 8 on EA Sports' list.
His overall rating was up one percentage point from NHL 25 to a 90 overall, ranking him in line with Jaccob Slavin and Adam Fox, only trailing Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, Zach Werenski, Roman Josi, Victor Hedman, Rasmus Dahlin and Miro Heiskanen on the charts.
Morrissey had 14 goals, 62 points, 22 penalty minutes and a +17 rating in 80 games last season for the Presidents' Trophy winning Jets.
