Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson is expected to miss approximately eight weeks due to an ankle injury, head coach Jared Bednar announced on Friday. Manson suffered the injury during Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils after sustaining an awkward fall in the first period, logging just 4:06 of ice time before leaving the contest.
The 35-year-old veteran has recorded one goal and three assists through 13 games this season while averaging a career-low 14:59 of ice time. The Avalanche, who currently sit third in the Central Division with a 7-5-1 record, next face the Calgary Flames on Saturday night.
