Colorado Avalanche News
Manson (upper-body) will not play Monday in Detroit.
Manson suffered an upper-body injury in Ottawa on Saturday and will not be available for Monday's game in Detroit. Josh Mahura will draw into the lineup to replace him.
Olofsson has been activated from COVID-19 protocol and will play on Sunday.
Line Change
Merkley will be back in the Sharks lineup on Sunday.
Merkley will replace Mario Ferraro, who was hit in the face by a puck on Saturday. Merkley, who has one goal and one assist in 14 games, will skate with Marc-Edouard Vlasic on the second pairing and should quarterback the second power-play unit.
Olofsson has been added to the COVID-19 protocol list and will not play on Saturday.
MacKinnon will miss at least three games with a facial fracture and concussion.
It's unclear if MacKinnon will be ready for the All-Star game but he'll miss Colorado's last three games before the break. Mikko Rantanen will move to centre with MacKinnon out.

Francouz will start Friday in Chicago.
Goalie Start
Wedgewood will start Friday vs. the Bruins.
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.
The Devils have placed Mackenzie Blackwood (left heel) on IR.
Blackwood served as the backup on Monday but the Devils said that he was dealing with something and wasn't 100 percent. Moving him to IR opens up a roster spot to recall Akira Schmid from Utica (AHL) to serve as the Devils' backup behind Jon Gillies.

Francouz will start Monday vs. the Blackhawks.
Blackwood (undisclosed) will not be available to start Sunday's game vs. the Kings.

The Ducks have added Josh Manson to the COVID-19 protocol list.
Entering COVID-19 protocol means that Manson will miss at least the next two games. He'll most likely be back in the Ducks' lineup next Monday in Boston.
The Avalanche have placed Valeri Nichushkin on the COVID-19 protocol list.
Nichushkin will not be available for Monday's game vs. the Wild and will likely miss their first three games to start the week. Expect J.T. Compher to move into the top-6 with Nichushkin out.
The Hurricanes have added Martin Necas to the COVID-19 protocol list.
Necas is now in danger of missing at least one or two games. This is poor timing for Necas, who was just starting to heat up, posting nine points (4G / 5A) in his last 13 games.
