Manson (upper body) is expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

That puts Manson's availability for the remainder of the regular season in question, though it's possible he'll still get into a few games before the playoffs. Manson has a goal, 15 points, 28 PIM, 105 hits and 59 blocks in 48 appearances in 2024-25. Erik Johnson might play regularly during Manson's absence.

Manson (upper body) will likely be out week-to-week, Brennan Vogt of Mile High Hockey reports Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Manson didn't play Sunday against Dallas after sustaining his upper-body injury Friday in Calgary. Sam Malinski should see an uptick in ice time while Manson is on the shelf, and Erik Johnson could play more consistently on the third pairing, though Keaton Middleton will be in the mix for minutes as well.

Manson (upper body) won't play against Dallas on Sunday, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

EDGE Analysis

Manson will miss at least one game after being injured in Friday's 4-2 win over Calgary. He has produced one goal, 15 points, 65 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and 105 hits in 48 appearances this season. Manson will be replaced in Sunday's lineup by Sam Malinski.

Manson (upper body) won't return to Friday's game versus the Flames, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson was partially able to play through the injury in the second period, but didn't take the ice in the third. The 33-year-old defenseman might miss Sunday's game versus the Stars. If that happens, Sam Malinski would likely rejoin the lineup after being scratched Friday.

Manson logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Manson recorded 19:33 of ice time in his return from a seven-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The 33-year-old was on the second pairing and will likely slot in there as long as the Avalanche don't make any big moves on the blue line ahead of Friday's deadline. For the season, Manson has 14 points, 58 shots on net, 95 hits, 54 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 44 appearances.

Manson (lower body) will be back in the lineup Thursday versus San Jose, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has sat out the last seven games with the injury. The 33-year-old veteran has one goal, 12 assists, 94 hits and 54 blocked shots across 43 contests this season. He is expected to play alongside Samuel Girard on the second pairing.

Manson (lower body) will not play Tuesday versus the Penguins but is making progress in his recovery, according to Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson will sit out for a seventh consecutive game Tuesday. The right-shot blueliner is trending in the right direction, so he could be an option for Thursday's home matchup against the Sharks. Once he's ready to return, Manson will most likely replace one of Oliver Kylington or Sam Malinski in the lineup.

Manson (lower body) won't play Friday versus the Wild, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Manson is set to miss his sixth straight game, and there hasn't been an update on his status since he was ruled out for the Avalanche's most recent road trip. Sam Malinski and Calvin de Haan will be the third pairing in Friday's contest. There's no clear timeline for Manson's return to action, but the Avalanche are off for three days prior to their matchup against the Penguins on Tuesday.

Manson (lower body) won't be in the lineup versus the Devils on Wednesday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has been out since he was hurt versus the Canucks on Feb. 4. He didn't travel on the Avalanche's most recent road trip, which suggests he probably isn't close to returning to the lineup. The Avalanche play the Wild on Friday, then have three days off before continuing their homestand against the Penguins on Tuesday.

Manson (lower body) won't travel with the Avalanche during their upcoming two-game road trip that begins Saturday in Nashville, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche will face the Predators on Saturday and St. Louis on Sunday without Manson. The 33-year-old defenseman missed Colorado's final two games before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, so he hasn't suited up since Feb. 4. He has a goal, 13 points, 26 PIM, 94 hits and 54 blocks in 43 appearances in 2024-25.
