Manson (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Manson will miss his first game of the season, and the team called up Marcus Pettersson to fill his spot. Manson's next chance to enter the lineup will be Thursday versus the Rangers.

Manson is dealing with an undisclosed injury that puts his availability against Philadelphia on Tuesday in doubt, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson's potential absence would open the door for Luke Schenn to slot back into the lineup. The 26-year-old Manson if off to a slow start this season (three points in 12 games), after having set career highs in goals (seven) and assists (30) last year.

Manson scored a goal on three shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This is Manson's first goal on the season, and it comes in his 12th game. He's put 18 shots on net, so his 5.6 shooting percentage is right in line with his career numbers. However, he's also averaged 22:59 per game in ice time, over two minutes more than last year, so at the very least he has a bigger role this season.

Manson produced a game-high five blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 road win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

While Manson's robust own-zone play generally puts him in the good graces of the Anaheim goalies, he did pick up a pair of minor penalties (interference, tripping) against one of the most feared power-play teams in the NHL -- albeit one that is getting two-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson up to speed.

Manson scored a goal and added an assist Friday to help his team to a 5-3 win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Manson now has four points in his past two games and appears to have shaken off the rust from his injury. If he's available to you because your league's owners have been waiting for him to prove he's healthy, grab him now before someone else does.

Manson set up his team's first and second goals Wednesday, helping provide the difference in a 3-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Those are Manson's first assists since March 18, but he's usually more consistent at finding the score sheet. His 28 assists are a solid number for a defenseman, and it's possible he's been rusty after taking an upper body injury in that March 18 contest. If this gets him back into his groove, he'll have solid value going forward.

Manson (upper body) will be in the lineup Sunday against the Oilers, Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson was part of the morning skate Sunday, so it seemed likely that he would be able to play barring a setback. The 26-year-old has managed 31 points in 73 games, and he is returning from his absence to face an Oilers team on the second night of a back-to-back. Considering that Edmonton has a 3.16 GAA, this seems like a nice matchup to return for.

Manson (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Friday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Manson skated Friday, so he's definitely making progress in his recovery, but he'll likely need to log a full practice with his teammates before returning to the lineup. Korbinian Holzer will continue to occupy a bottom-pairing role until Manson is given the green light to return.

Manson (upper body) isn't expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Flames, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Manson expected to be unavailable, Korbinian Holzer will likely draw into the lineup against Calgary. The severity of Manson's upper-body malady remains unknown, but the Ducks should release another update on his status prior to Friday night's matchup with Winnipeg.

Manson left Sunday's tilt versus New Jersey with an upper-body injury, and is doubtful to return Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury was sustained during the first period, and it's unclear what caused Manson to originally exit the game. The 26-year-old has been able to record four points (one goal, three assists) in eight games in March, and if he isn't able to play Wednesday against Calgary, Korbinian Holzer figures to draw into the lineup.
