Manson (upper body) won't suit up for Thursday's Game 4 against the Predators, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson will miss a third consecutive contest Thursday, and remains without a definitive timetable for his return to game action. His continued absence will likely go unnoticed by most fantasy owners, as the 24-year-old blueliner only notched 15 points in 71 games this season, and isn't an attractive option in daily formats or playoff pools. Expect an update on Manson's status if and when he's set to return to the Ducks' lineup.

Manson (upper body) will not play in Tuesday's matchup with the Predators, Kristopher Martel of OnTheForecheck reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson suffered an upper-body injury during Game 1 of the series and will now sit out a second straight playoff game. The Ducks don't play again until Thursday, so Manson will have a couple days off to further recover. He should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Manson (upper body) will not play in Sunday's Game 2 against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Manson played just 4:44 in Game 1 before suffering the upper-body injury and it will cost him Game 2 at a minimum. Fortunately for the Ducks, they will regain the services of Kevin Bieksa on Sunday, providing some extra depth along the blue line. Manson will now aim to return for Tuesday's Game 3, but the team should update his status again before then.

Manson may not be available for Sunday's Game 2 against the Predators due to an upper-body injury he sustained in Friday's Game 1, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson logged just 4:44 of ice time in the first period of Friday's contest before exiting the game with an upper-body ailment. He hasn't officially been ruled out of Sunday's tilt, but his status for that contest appears iffy at best at this juncture. If the 24-year-old bluelienr is ultimately unable to suit up for Game 2, Kevin Bieksa (upper body) will likely draw into the Ducks' lineup in his absence.

Manson (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Friday's contest against the Canucks, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manson was considered a likely candidate to rejoin the lineup Friday with three other blueliners sidelined due to injury. He will pair with Shea Theodore for the contest, but considering he owns just 14 points in 65 games this season, it's unlikely he will contribute enough to obtain fantasy relevance.

Manson (undisclosed) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Manson was reportedly "shaken up" after taking a hit from Edmonton's Patrick Maroon in Monday's matchup with the Oilers, and will miss at least one contest as a result of that contact. He'll hope to return to the Ducks' lineup for Friday's game against the Canucks.

Manson (undisclosed) has been deemed a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt with Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau said Manson was "shaken up" after taking a hit from Edmonton's Patrick Maroon on Monday. With four goals and 10 assists on the year, Manson's absence wouldn't cripple any fantasy owners, while Korbinian Holzer is slated to enter the lineup if Manson is unable to go.

Manson contributed a pair of assists in Monday's win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Manson was responsible for the primary helper on goals less than two minutes apart as part of a huge offensive night for the Ducks. The 24-year-old won't typically light up the scoresheet, but he could be of some fantasy relevance in deeper formats that value hits and penalty minutes.

Manson had two shots on goal, a plus-1 rating and three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

While Manson surely won't be lighting the lamp on a regular basis anytime soon, he continues to be a hit machine. He's got 86 in 42 games played this season, including 33 in his last 16 games. He's also got 28 PIM in that same span of 16 games, giving him value in some formats.

Manson is still not back at 100 percent but is feeling good enough to play in Thursday evening's road game against the Panthers, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old Manson will likely draw back into the lineup and replace Korbinian Holzer, who had been spelling him while he recovered from the flu. Manson has scored one goal through nine games played for Anaheim this season.
