Josh Manson Inks Two-Year Extension with Avalanche

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson has signed a two-year, $7.9 million contract extension with the club. He was scheduled to hit free agency next summer before agreeing to a new deal with the Avalanche. Manson has spent three and a half seasons in Denver. He's had a difficult time with injuries and made only 48 appearances in 2024-25. Manson picked up 15 points (one goal, 14 assists) and had 105 hits during the campaign. From a fantasy perspective, Manson offers little, but he's been a reliable defenseman throughout his NHL career, and the Avalanche will be happy to keep him around.

Josh Manson Available For Game 1

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (upper body) was activated from Injured Reserve on Friday and is expected to re-enter the lineup for Saturday's Game 1 against the Dallas Stars. Manson sat out the final 15 regular-season games due to an upper-body injury. He has been dealing with health issues all year, skating in only 48 games. The 33-year-old logged 15 points (one goal, 14 assists), 59 blocks, and 105 hits during the regular season. Manson's offensive arsenal is lacking; however, he has proven himself to be an effective postseason performer, helping the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup in 2022.

Josh Manson Expected To Miss At Least Three Weeks

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (upper body) is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due to an upper-body injury. Manson sustained this injury during Friday's contest against the Calgary Flames. Manson already missed their previous game on Sunday and could be in danger of missing the remainder of the regular season. With Manson sidelined, Erik Johnson should continue to have a consistent role in the bottom defensive pairing. Manson tallied two helpers over his last five contests with 11 hits and five blocked shots. Through 48 games this season, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net once and added 14 helpers. While Manson does not carry much scoring upside, he carries value in category leagues as he has tallied 109 hits with 59 blocked shots.

Josh Manson Exits On Friday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (upper body) exited Friday's contest against the Calgary Flames on Friday evening. Manson logged just under nine minutes of ice time before exiting the contest. He tallied three shots on goal and three hits but did not get on the scoresheet. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next game on Sunday afternoon against the Dallas Stars. If Manson were to sit out of this game, fantasy managers should expect Sam Malinski to enter the starting lineup. Before Friday, Manson tallied two points (both helpers) over his last four contests. Through 48 contests, Manson has tallied 15 points and logged 109 hits and 59 blocked shots with a -6 rating.

Josh Manson Returning On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) is set to return to the starting lineup on Thursday evening against the San Jose Sharks. Manson has been sidelined for the past seven contests with this injury. As a result, Oliver Kylington will likely move out of the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should expect Manson to return to his typical spot on the second defensive pairing alongside Samuel Girard. Through 43 contests this season, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net once and added 12 helpers. However, he has been a viable fantasy asset in deeper formats that rewards hits and blocks as he logged 94 hits (2.2 per game) and 54 blocked shots (1.3 per game). Given his lack of offensive production, he should only be targeted in deeper category leagues.

Josh Manson Sustains Lower-Body Injury

According to Brennan Vogt of Mile High Hockey, Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) sustained an injury during Tuesday's contest against the Vancouver Canucks. Manson suffered this injury during the second period and did not take the ice in the final frame. Before exiting, he tallied two hits and two penalty minutes. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Thursday evening against the Calgary Flames. Over his previous six games, Manson has tallied one point (an assist) with 11 hits and seven blocked shots. If he were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Calvin de Haan or Oliver Kylington to draw into the starting lineup. Overall, the 33-year-old has tallied 13 points across 43 games with 94 hits and 54 blocked shots.

Josh Manson Considered Week-To-Week

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.

Josh Manson Sustains An Upper-Body Injury Friday

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.

Josh Manson Returns For Colorado 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.

Josh Manson A Game-Time Decision Monday

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.

Josh Manson Questionable Wednesday

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.

Josh Manson Questionable For Monday

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.

Josh Manson Considered Day-To-Day

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.

Josh Manson Out For Game 6

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.

Josh Manson Returns To Avalanche Lineup

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.

Josh Manson Set To Miss Time

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.

Josh Manson Considered Week-To-Week

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.

Josh Manson Traded To Colorado

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.
