Josh Manson will be out for a month after he was placed on the injured reserve (lower body).

Manson left the Avalanches' game on Dec. 1st vs. Buffalo with a lower-body injury after playing only 10:17 TOI. It is yet another injury for Colorado, which is without several key roster pieces. Manson has two goals, six points and 40 PIMs through 21 games this season.

Manson will make his Avalanche debut on Tuesday.

Manson was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks on Monday and will immediately step into the Avalanche lineup on Tuesday. The Avalanche played a man down in their last game, so he won't replace anyone. Without a morning skate, it's unclear who he will skate next to in his debut.

The Avalanche have acquired Josh Manson from the Ducks for Drew Helleson and a 2023 second-round pick.

Manson is in the final year of a four-year deal with a $4.1M AAV cap-hit. The Ducks retained 50 percent of Manson's cap-hit and the 30-year-old will help solidify Colorado's bottom-4. Manson projects to play with Samuel Girard when the Avalanche are fully healthy.

Manson (COVID-19 protocol) will be back in the Ducks lineup on Thursday.

Manson has missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but will return to the lineup on Thursday. It's unclear who Manson will replace on the blueline or if the Ducks will go with seven defensemen. He has scored three goals with three assists in 41 games this season.

Manson (lower-body) is day-to-day and questionable to play Wednesday.

Manson was hurt midway through Monday's game and did not return, playing just 10:17 TOI. Head coach Dallas Eakins said that he is unsure about Manson's availability for Wednesday and that he considers him day-to-day until the medical staff tells him differently. If Manson can't go on Wednesday, look for Josh Mahura to draw back into the lineup.
