Josh Manson to Miss Eight Weeks Due to Ankle Injury
Josh Manson, a defenceman for the Colorado Avalanche, is anticipated to be out for about eight weeks due to an ankle injury. This information was shared by head coach Jared Bednar during a press conference on Friday.
The injury occurred during Wednesday's match against the New Jersey Devils, where Manson left the game after a fall in the first period, contributing only 4:06 of ice time in the Avalanche's 5-2 victory.
At 35 years old, Manson has had a subdued start to the season, recording one goal and three assists over 13 games, with an average ice time of 14:59, marking a career low for the veteran player. The Avalanche currently holds a 7-5-1 record, placing them third in the Central Division, and they are set to face the Calgary Flames on Saturday night.
