Top Josh Manson News

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Could play during trip

    Manson (upper body) might suit up during Colorado's three-game road trip but won't be in action against Vancouver on Monday, Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey reports.

    Manson will have a few extra days before Colorado's back-to-back versus the Sharks and Ducks on Thursday and Friday, respectively. Once ready to play, Manson will need to be activated off injured reserve, which could see either Keaton Middleton head back to the minors or John Ludvig could be put back on waivers. Manson has registered six points in 24 games this year but doesn't have a power-play role, which limits his fantasy upside.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Moves to IR

    Manson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

    Manson is week-to-week after missing Saturday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton. He has accounted for five assists, six points, 27 shots on goal, 34 blocked shots and 51 hits across 24 appearances this season. If Oliver Kylington (upper body) remains unavailable to play against Buffalo, John Ludvig or Keaton Middleton could be in Tuesday's lineup.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Out on week-to-week basis

    Manson (upper body) is considered week-to-week after missing Saturday's game versus the Oilers, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

    Manson is likely farther out from a return than Oliver Kylington (undisclosed), who is day-to-day. Manson will probably miss at least the first half of the Avalanche's upcoming road trip, and he could be out longer. Calvin de Haan and John Ludvig will continue to act as the third pairing until Colorado gets healthier on the blue line.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Unavailable Saturday

    Manson (upper body) will miss Saturday's game against Edmonton, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

    Manson has a goal, six points, 51 hits and 34 blocks in 24 outings with the Avalanche in 2024-25. John Ludvig will draw into the lineup due to Manson's injury.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Suffers upper-body injury

    Manson (upper body) won't finish Friday's game versus the Stars, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

    Manson was hurt in the second period, though it's not clear what exactly caused him to exit the game. The 33-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Oilers. If he can't play, John Ludvig or Oliver Kylington (undisclosed) are the defensemen who could replace him in a bottom-four role.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Earns helper in blowout loss

    Manson posted an assist, three hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Lightning.

    Going plus-2 in a blowout loss like this one is an impressive feat. Manson snapped an eight-game point drought as well, and he's now at six points through 22 contests. The 33-year-old defenseman has added 24 shots on net, 49 hits, 32 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-8 rating on the season. He's a gritty second-pairing blueliner, so he'll have some fantasy value in formats that reward the rough stuff.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Posts assist in win

    Manson notched a power-play assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

    The Avalanche were already by two goals when Nikolai Kovalenko scored in the dying seconds. Manson's assist on that marker was his first career power-play point, but he shouldn't be expected to be a contributor in that area moving forward. The defenseman has five points, 16 shots on net, 25 hits, 20 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 13 contests. He brings physicality in a bottom-four role and is producing offense at a pace similar to last season when he logged 25 points in 76 regular-season outings.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Lights lamp in win

    Manson scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

    Manson stretched the Avalanche's lead to 2-0 with a goal late in the second period. The defenseman has been steady on both sides of the puck despite the Avalanche's early defensive struggles. He's collected four points, 15 shots on net, 18 hits, 14 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating over nine outings. Manson has yet to go more than two games without a point.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Slings helper Sunday

    Manson recorded an assist, five blocked shots and six PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

    Manson has been steady on offense with three assists over six games this season. The 33-year-old blueliner has added 10 shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-5 rating. He's a lock to play on the Avalanche's second pairing, and while his offense won't always be consistent, he regularly adds plenty of hits and PIM.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Posts assist in loss

    Manson notched an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Islanders.

    Manson has two helpers, five shots on net, five hits and three blocks through three contests. He's also gone minus-4, but that's due to Colorado getting woeful goaltending through three games. Manson is a physical defenseman who is poised to play regularly in a bottom-four role this season. In 2023-24, he had 25 points in 76 regular-season games, which was his best production on offense since 2017-18.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Garners helper in win

    Manson provided an assist, five shots on goal and eight hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Manson's offense has slowed in the second round -- he has two helpers across five games against the Stars after racking up two goals and three assists over five contests versus the Jets in the first round. The 32-year-old defenseman continues to occupy a top-four role for the Avalanche, providing solid defense in addition to his surprising offense. Through 10 playoff appearances, he has 23 shots on net, 35 hits, 19 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-8 rating.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Registers assist Thursday

    Manson posted an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

    Manson set up a Joel Kiviranta tally in the third period. The 32-year-old Manson has been surprisingly reliable on offense this postseason, earning six points with 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over seven appearances. That level of production has kept him in a top-four role for the Avalanche, and his physicality adds another layer of intrigue in his game, making him viable in DFS.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: One of each in Game 5 win

    Manson scored an empty-net goal, added an assist, went plus-2, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

    Manson racked up five points and a plus-5 rating over five first-round contests. He also had 13 shots on net, 14 hits and seven blocked shots. The 32-year-old defenseman is showing his value at both ends of the ice while playing in a top-four role this postseason. Manson should return solid value in DFS play once the Avalanche's playoff run resumes in the second round.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Provides helper Friday

    Manson notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

    Manson has strung together a five-game point streak with two goals and three assists in that span. He has a goal, two helpers, 11 shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through three playoff outings. He stayed in a top-four role Friday even with the return of Samuel Girard (concussion) -- Sean Walker was demoted to the third pairing.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Lights lamp in win

    Manson scored a goal on three shots, went plus-4, added two PIM, logged six hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

    Manson has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. The 32-year-old defenseman's goal was a momentum-changing tally late in the second period, giving the Avalanche a 4-2 lead heading into the third. He continues to see top-four minutes, though he could be the blueliner to move down the lineup once Samuel Girard (concussion) is able to play.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Garners assist

    Manson notched an assist, six shots on goal, two hits and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Jets in Game 1.

    Manson has a goal and two assists over his last three contests. The 32-year-old defenseman is likely to play a significant top-four role as a defensive presence, at least until Samuel Girard (concussion) is cleared to rejoin the lineup. Manson produced 25 points, his most since 2017-18, with 123 shots on net, 211 hits, 109 blocked shots and 87 PIM over 76 regular-season outings.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Picks up helper

    Manson recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime defeat to Vegas.

    Manson continues to struggle to find the back of the net, as his goal drought has reached 15 games. During his slump, the veteran blueliner has generated four assists, 32 shots and 25 PIM. Given his limited offensive contributions, Manson is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value in postseason contests.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Logs assist in loss

    Manson logged an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers.

    Manson was the secondary helper on Colorado's first goal. His 22 points this season are his most since 2017-18 when he had 37 as a member of the Ducks.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Assist, fight in win

    Manson produced an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and five PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Manson set up a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period and then dropped the gloves with Mathieu Olivier in the third. With three points and 21 PIM over his last seven contests, Manson is providing solid depth offense and truculence from a bottom-four role. The 32-year-old blueliner has 21 points, 100 shots on net, 183 hits, 90 blocked shots, 79 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 64 appearances.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Pots goal Tuesday

    Manson scored a goal, added three hits and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

    Manson has a goal and an assist over three contests since he sat out one game with a lower-body injury. He tied the game at 2-2 in the second period, the first of five unanswered goals for the Avalanche. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to seven goals, 20 points, 90 shots on net, 175 hits, 87 blocked shots, 62 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 60 appearances. This is the first time he's reached the 20-point mark since his 37-point campaign in 2017-18, which is an outlier in his career.
