Manson scored a goal on two shots, delivered three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Manson netted his first goal as a member of the Avalanche early in the third period. Devon Toews engaged in the offensive zone, drawing a lot of attention, before he fed Manson at the point for a slapshot that eluded Tristan Jarry. It was the second point in 10 games since Manson was acquired from Anaheim. His greatest contribution to Colorado has been to provide grit to the blueline. The 30-year-old defenseman has meted out 33 hits while in an Avalanche jersey, giving him 149 on the season.

Manson collected an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Manson helped out on a J.T. Compher goal in the first period. This was Manson's first point in five games since he was traded from the Ducks. The 30-year-old defenseman is more of a physical player than a scorer -- he's at 10 points, 134 hits, 67 shots on goal, 57 PIM, 52 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 50 contests overall. With Bowen Byram (head), Ryan Murray (upper body) and Samuel Girard (lower body) out, Manson should see top-four minutes in the near term.

Manson had one shot on goal and 10 hits over 18:41 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Manson, who was recently acquired from Anaheim, made his Avalanche debut and left a mark on the Kings with 10 hits. There's been a lot of talk since the trade that he's the type of defenseman -- big and physical -- that Colorado lacks, and Manson showed that in his team debut. He settled in on the second pair alongside Ryan Murray. He has a combined 126 body checks over 46 games for the Ducks and Avs.

Manson was traded from Anaheim to Colorado in exchange for Drew Helleson and a 2023 draft pick Monday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has spent his entire eight-year career up to this point with the Ducks. The 30-year-old blueliner is averaging 19:45 of ice time with nine points through 45 games this season. He should fill a top-four role once he joins Colorado.

Manson chipped in a goal, four PIM, and two hits in a 4-3 loss to the Islanders on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Manson (finger) missed 13 games before coming back March 12 against New Jersey and logging an assist. With the goal Sunday, the defenseman reached nine points in 45 games this season.

Manson (finger) logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in 20:01 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Manson missed 13 games with the injury, but he was able to make an impact in his return. The 30-year-old defenseman has been a limited contributor on offense this season with eight points through 44 outings. He's added 114 hits, 58 shots on net, 49 PIM and 44 blocked shots -- the Illinois native doesn't shy away from physical play, though his fantasy value isn't likely to be very high given his low-scoring style.

Manson (finger) will return to the lineup Saturday versus the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has missed 13 games due to the injury. The 30-year-old will immediately slot into a top-pairing role, while rookie Jamie Drysdale is set to be a healthy scratch to accommodate Manson's return.

Manson (finger) will not play Thursday against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has now missed 13 straight games and 17 of the last 19. The 30-year-old blueliner appears to be nearing a return and could suit up as early as Saturday in New Jersey.

Manson (finger) could possibly return Thursday against Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has been withheld from the last 12 games while dealing with a broken finger. The 30-year-old has averaged 19:43 of ice time and tallied seven points over 43 appearances this season.

Manson (finger) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Manson suffered the injury Jan. 28 versus the Senators, and it's clearly not healed enough for him to get back into action. Since injured reserve moves are retroactive, he'll be eligible to return whenever he's ready. Greg Pateryn was called up Tuesday in a corresponding move.
