What Happened
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson suffered an ankle injury during a recent victory against the New Jersey Devils. According to Daily Faceoff, the veteran blueliner is expected to miss approximately eight weeks while he rehabilitates the injury. The report did not specify a more exact return date or whether surgery is required.
