Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (upper body) will be out week-to-week. He has already missed one game, sitting out his first action of the season Saturday versus Edmonton. Manson's absence will mostly be felt in the physical part of the game, as he leads Colorado with 51 hits. Offensively, he has tallied six points (one goal, five assists) in 24 appearances. John Ludvig took Manson's spot on the third defensive pairing on Saturday, logging 12:57 of ice time. He finished scoreless with two shots, one block, two hits, two penalty minutes, and a minus-one rating.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson suffered an upper-body injury in Friday's 5-3 loss at Dallas. He left the contest in the second period after crashing into the boards. Manson's night was over following only 10 shifts, during which he logged 7:13 of action. He's now in danger of missing his first game of the campaign, with Colorado returning to the ice Saturday night against Edmonton. Manson has recorded six points (one goal, five assists) in 24 appearances with 27 shots, 34 blocks, and a team-high 51 hits. The Colorado defense also lost Oliver Kylington (undisclosed) this week, so John Ludvig might get a chance to play in only his sixth game of the season on Saturday.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Maple Leafs. He will return from a two-game absence. Manson was on a roll offensively before landing on the shelf, posting three goals and two assists over a seven-game stretch. It was a big improvement from his usual production, as Manson's work on the attacking end across the entire campaign consists of five goals and seven assists in 37 outings. However, he has been a steady source for hits (82) and blocks (54) in fantasy hockey.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (undisclosed) is regarded as a game-time decision for Monday's contest against Boston. The 32-year-old is dealing with an unspecified ailment and left Monday's morning skate early, which is a pretty bad sign regarding his availability. Manson scored his fifth goal of the season at the weekend against Florida and has notched 12 points in total across 37 appearances with 82 hits and 54 blocks. The team has called up Sam Malinski from the AHL as Manson's possible replacement on Monday.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (undisclosed) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Buffalo. He missed the morning skate and could also be unavailable for the game, although Manson appears to have a strong chance of remaining in the lineup. The 32-year-old is mainly known for his work on the defensive end but has provided a nice boost in the attack for Colorado lately, posting two goals and four assists in six appearances this month. The Sabres aren't very strong at the back, meaning Manson would be in a good position to keep his scoring run going if he can play.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson is dealing with an undisclosed injury and could be unavailable for Monday's game against the Flames. The injury has come at an awful time for Manson, as he's been on fire as of late, posting five points in as many games. The 32-year-old has tallied six points (two goals, four assists) overall for the season in 24 games. With Cale Makar and Davon Toews running the blue line, Colorado should have no issues covering for Manson on the attacking end, but his presence at the back will definitely be missed. Manson boasts the most hits on the team with 46 and is tied for the third-most blocks with 37. Assuming he's out, Caleb Jones should get his first action in three games.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (upper body) is considered day-to-day. The 32-year-old dropped out of the lineup Monday versus Seattle and won't be ready to return Wednesday night against Anaheim. However, Manson isn't expected to be out for long. The former Duck has been offensively anonymous in 2023-24, posting only one assist in 13 games and registering no goals with 17 shots on net. At the other end, Manson has logged 20 hits and 18 blocks. With Samuel Girard (undisclosed) also out on Monday, Caleb Jones entered the lineup, and Sam Malinski made his NHL debut.
Josh Manson Expected To Be Ready For Opening Night
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (oblique) is expected to be ready in time for the club's regular-season opener Oct. 11 versus the Los Angeles Kings. The rugged blueliner has yet to play in the preseason after undergoing offseason surgery to repair torn oblique muscles suffered early in the first round of last season's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Manson also missed 55 regular season contests with a lower-body injury before making it back in time for the start of the postseason. Known for his stay-at-home style, the 31-year-old tallied two goals and 10 points across 27 games last season and has missed significant time due to a myriad of injuries over the last few seasons.
Josh Manson Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing an offseason procedure. Manson struggled to stay in the lineup with health issues all season last year, making only 27 appearances in the regular season and missing the team's final two playoff outings. The 31-year-old finished 2022-23 with 10 points (two goals, eight assists), 41 shots on goal, 41 blocks, and 64 hits. Manson has been an important piece for the Avalanche backline, and he should enjoy a good season in 2023-24 now that he's healthy again.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) won't be available for Friday's Game 6 against Seattle. He re-aggravated a lower-body injury in the last game, exiting after logging just 8:27 of ice time, and the defending champions have to find a way to stave off elimination without Manson on Friday. Colorado finished the regular season without Manson in the lineup, so it's not a new situation for the team, but his physical presence will definitely be missed in the elimination game. The 31-year-old hasn't seen any offensive success in the 2023 playoffs but has registered 15 hits in five outings.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) will suit up for the first time since March 1 when the team starts its Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series against Seattle on Tuesday. Colorado has had awful luck with injuries throughout the campaign and Game 1 of the playoffs will mark the first time this season all defensemen are available for selection. Manson himself was limited to only 27 appearances during the regular season. He's known as a defensive blue-liner but also showed some offensive ability when healthy, posting two goals and 10 points. The 31-year-old finished with 64 hits and 41 blocks while having a plus-13 rating. Mason will skate with Samuel Girard on the second defensive pairing.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson is set for another spell on the sidelines after re-aggravating a lower-body injury that kept him out for 31 games. He was able to skate in six games before getting hurt again. The 31-year-old has been available for only 27 games in total for the team this season, registering 10 points, 64 hits and 41 blocks with a plus-13 rating. The Colorado blue line has been hurting with injuries, but the team has brought back Jack Johnson from Chicago and should find a way to navigate through all the problems.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday and the team considers him week-to-week. Manson was hurt against Buffalo on Thursday and a lower-body injury will now rob him of multiple games. Andreas Englund has been called up from the minors to provide cover at the back. Manson has been doing a decent job as a second-pairing defenseman for Colorado, notching six points in 21 games with 46 hits and 23 blocks. Englund will hope to log his fifth NHL game of the campaign Saturday against Boston. He's been fairly anonymous in his previous appearances, tallying one assist with two shots and 14 hits.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Josh Manson was traded to the Colorado Avalanche on Monday, with the team picking up prospect Drew Helleson and a 2023 second-round draft pick in return. Anaheim retained 50 percent of Manson's $4.1 million cap hit in the deal. According to reports, Colorado was looking to bolster its blue line for quite some time. Manson, who has registered 113 points in 453 regular-season games for his career, will play a significant role straight away, as Colorado's defensive corp recently lost Samuel Girard (lower body) for up to four weeks and Bowen Byram (head) has been out as well.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Josh Manson will miss Saturday's home game against Vegas. He left Tuesday's 4-1 loss against the Kings early with an apparent head injury and isn't healthy enough to play here. Injuries have limited Manson to just 21 outings this season. He has posted six points with 59 hits, 30 blocks and 17 shots. The Ducks lineup also doesn't include Jakob Silfverberg for the first time this season. He underwent hip surgery on Thursday and was ruled out for the season. The 30-year-old winger finished the year with 16 points in 47 games.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Josh Manson will be sidelined for the next six weeks due to an oblique muscle injury sustained in the first period of his team's 1-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Monday. Manson appeared to have suffered the injury while engaging physically with Wild forward Jordan Greenway as both players subsequently assessed roughing penalties. The 29-year-old is likely only fantasy relevant is deep leagues and has been held pointless (with just one shot, one block and three hits) through three games. Having contributed more than 100 hits and 65 blocks in each of the past five seasons, Manson should remain on an open injured reserve spot until he returns to full health.
