Manson had an assist, four shots on net, two blocks and three hits in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Manson's lower-body injury that forced him to sit out Monday against Chicago didn't linger. He had a hand in Jonathan Drouin's third-period tally and was active in filling up the box score. The point, Manson's first in 13 games, upped his season total to 19 through 58 contests, and he has a team-high 169 hits.

Manson (lower body) is expected to play Wednesday versus the Red Wings, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
With Wednesday's trade of Bowen Byram to Buffalo, the Avalanche have only six defensemen available due to Sean Walker being en route to joining the team following a separate trade with the Flyers, so Manson looks set to play whether he's 100 percent or not. He should feature in a bottom-four role after missing Monday's contest with the lower-body issue.

Manson had a goal overturned during Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils. He logged one shot on net and two blocks over 16:37 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Manson thought he put the Avalanche up 2-1 early in the second period, but video review deemed Logan O'Connor had interfered with Vitek Vanecek. A case could have been made that New Jersey's Timo Meier caused O'Connor to run into the goalie, but officials saw it differently. Manson entered the contest with seven points over his last nine games.
