Josh Manson - NHL News & Rumors

Two assists, fight in win Manson logged two assists, two hits, five PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Impact Manson had primary helpers on goals by Brent Burns and Parker Kelly, and he managed to fit in a fight with Tanner Pearson between those assists. The 34-year-old Manson's toughness has come with a bit more offense in December -- he's earned eight assists over nine outings this month. That won't last for the rest of the season, but the Avalanche's strong team offense could allow him to get involved somewhat regularly. Manson is up to 12 points, 45 shots on net, 88 hits, 45 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-25 rating over 34 appearances, which is production that could help in deeper fantasy formats.

JULY 10 • GAZETTE.COM

Gets two-year extension Manson signed a two-year, $7.9 million contract extension with the Avalanche on Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. His new deal runs through the 2027-28 campaign.

Impact Manson has one season remaining on his four-year, $18 million contract, so his new agreement won't start right away. He's taking a bit of a cut in pay, but Manson will celebrate his 34th birthday Oct. 7, so the Avalanche are locking him up late into his career. Manson had a goal, 15 points, 28 PIM, 65 shots, 105 hits and 59 blocks in 48 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He has appeared in at least 70 regular-season games in just one of the last six seasons, which is a significant concern, but Manson does offer plenty of grit from the blue line when healthy.

Nets shortie in loss Manson scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 7.

Impact Manson's goal opened the scoring just before the halfway mark of the game. He contributed three points, 18 shots on net, 24 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over seven playoff contests. Manson missed large chunks of 2024-25 with injuries, amassing 15 points, 65 shots on net, 105 hits and 59 blocked shots over 48 regular-season appearances. He's under contract for next season, so expect the 33-year-old to return to a shutdown role on Colorado's blue line in 2025-26.
