Manson scored an empty-net goal, added an assist, went plus-2, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Manson racked up five points and a plus-5 rating over five first-round contests. He also had 13 shots on net, 14 hits and seven blocked shots. The 32-year-old defenseman is showing his value at both ends of the ice while playing in a top-four role this postseason. Manson should return solid value in DFS play once the Avalanche's playoff run resumes in the second round.

Manson notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has strung together a five-game point streak with two goals and three assists in that span. He has a goal, two helpers, 11 shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through three playoff outings. He stayed in a top-four role Friday with the return of Samuel Girard (concussion) -- Sean Walker was demoted to the third pairing.

Manson scored a goal on three shots, went plus-4, added two PIM, logged six hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. The 32-year-old defenseman's goal was a momentum-changing tally late in the second period, giving the Avalanche a 4-2 lead heading into the third. He continues to see top-four minutes, though he could be the blueliner to move down the lineup once Samuel Girard (concussion) is able to play.

Manson notched an assist, six shots on goal, two hits and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Jets in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has a goal and two assists over his last three contests. The 32-year-old defenseman is likely to play a significant top-four role as a defensive presence, at least until Samuel Girard (concussion) is cleared to rejoin the lineup. Manson produced 25 points, his most since 2017-18, with 123 shots on net, 211 hits, 109 blocked shots and 87 PIM over 76 regular-season outings.

Manson recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime defeat to Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Manson continues to struggle to find the back of the net, as his goal drought has reached 15 games. During his slump, the veteran blueliner has generated four assists, 32 shots and 25 PIM. Given his limited offensive contributions, Manson is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value in postseason contests.

Manson logged an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Manson was the secondary helper on Colorado's first goal. His 22 points this season are his most since 2017-18 when he had 37 as a member of the Ducks.

Manson produced an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and five PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Manson set up a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period and then dropped the gloves with Mathieu Olivier in the third. With three points and 21 PIM over his last seven contests, Manson is providing solid depth offense and truculence from a bottom-four role. The 32-year-old blueliner has 21 points, 100 shots on net, 183 hits, 90 blocked shots, 79 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 64 appearances.

Manson scored a goal, added three hits and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has a goal and an assist over three contests since he sat out one game with a lower-body injury. He tied the game at 2-2 in the second period, the first of five unanswered goals for the Avalanche. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to seven goals, 20 points, 90 shots on net, 175 hits, 87 blocked shots, 62 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 60 appearances. This is the first time he's reached the 20-point mark since his 37-point campaign in 2017-18, which is an outlier in his career.

Manson had an assist, four shots on net, two blocks and three hits in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Manson's lower-body injury that forced him to sit out Monday against Chicago didn't linger. He had a hand in Jonathan Drouin's third-period tally and was active in filling up the box score. The point, Manson's first in 13 games, upped his season total to 19 through 58 contests, and he has a team-high 169 hits.

Manson (lower body) is expected to play Wednesday versus the Red Wings, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

With Wednesday's trade of Bowen Byram to Buffalo, the Avalanche have only six defensemen available due to Sean Walker being en route to joining the team following a separate trade with the Flyers, so Manson looks set to play whether he's 100 percent or not. He should feature in a bottom-four role after missing Monday's contest with the lower-body issue.
