Manson (lower body) may play Wednesday versus the Wild, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Getting a player back would be good for the Avalanche's defense, which has been tested by injuries lately. Manson hasn't played since Dec. 1, but he'd likely be able to fill a bottom-four role. If he's activated from injured reserve prior to Wednesday's contest, that would be a good indication that he'll play.
