Manson (lower body) will be sidelined for Anaheim's next two games versus Colorado and Vegas on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

EDGE Analysis

Manson will be further evaluated after the club returns to Anaheim following its two road contests, but the fact that the organization made the move to bring in Erik Gudbranson to bolster the blue line doesn't instill a lot of confidence for a short-term absence. Through the first 11 games of the season, Manson is still searching for his first goal, but has managed three helpers, 13 shots and 28 hits. If Gudbranson isn't available to immediately jump into the lineup then Michael Del Zotto figures to take Manson's spot.

Manson (lower body) was seen on crutches following Thursday's loss to Dallas, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson left the game in the first period when he got his leg caught in an awkward position, and had to be helped off the ice, unable to put any weight on his left leg. The team didn't provide further updates on the injury postgame, but the fact that the defenseman is on crutches suggests a serious injury could be in play. Expect the team to have an update on the injury prior to Saturday's road clash with Colorado.

Manson (lower body) left Thursday's game against the Stars and is undergoing further evaluation, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson looked to suffer a significant injury in the first period, when he tried to check Jason Dickinson. He was immediately assisted off the ice and couldn't put any weight on his left leg. The Ducks are extremely thin on the back end now, rolling with five defensemen for the time being.

Manson recorded an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Manson now has three points, a plus-5 rating and seven PIM in his last three contests. That's all his offense this season, and he's added 25 hits and 10 shots on goal in nine appearances. The 28-year-old defenseman skates on the top pairing, but he's typically a bit more defensively oriented.

Manson registered two assists, two hits, two shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Manson entered the contest without a point in six games, but he assisted the Ducks' first and last goals to get on the scoresheet for the first time. The defenseman has provided 22 hits and nine blocked shots this year, but fantasy owners will want to see him add more offense. Manson had 16 points in 74 outings last year, while his breakout 37-point effort came in 2017-18.

Manson has gone scoreless while averaging 20:56 of ice time in six games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Manson isn't much of an offensive threat from the blue line, so he'll generally be tasked with shutting down the opposition's top offensive threats rather than putting up points this season. He'll likely be good for 180-plus hits and 90-plus blocked shots in 2019-20, but won't be worth consideration in fantasy formats that don't count those categories.

Manson (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's preseason clash with San Jose, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson missed the final four games of the 2018-19 campaign due to an undisclosed issue, but his injury was never expected to impact his availability for the Ducks' 2019-20 preseason schedule. The 27-year-old, who picked up 16 points in 74 games last year, is expected to form a shutdown pair with Hampus Lindholm this season and has never been a power-play contributor, so his offensive opportunities will likely be severely limited in 2019-20.

Manson (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday against Calgary and likely won't be available for Friday's season finale against LA, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears as though Manson's season has almost certainly come to an end. If that ends up being the case, the 27-year-old blueliner will finish the campaign having totaled a disappointing 16 points in 74 contests. The 6-foot-3 American will undoubtedly be hoping to enjoy a bounce-back year offensively in 2019-20.

Manson -- who exited Tuesday's game against the Canucks late following a hit from Tanner Pearson -- is visiting with a doctor, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Manson checking in with doctors, it seems likely that he will be unavailable for both Friday and Saturday's contests in Canada. We'll update the blueliner's stats, but, barring a quick turnaround, look for Jake Dotchin to serve as the sixth defenseman on the two-game trip.

Manson picked up an assist, four hits and three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Manson has an assist in four of his last eight games, while delivering 23 hits in that span. The physical defender is up to three goals and 12 apples in 67 appearances this year, with his fantasy relevance limited mostly to deeper formats.
