Avalanche facing long-term complications on the blue line
The Colorado Avalanche look to be facing some long-term complications on the blue line.
The team placed on Monday, defenseman Josh Manson on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) following his untimely ankle injury a few games ago.
The move signals that Manson will miss at least 10 games or 24 calendar days before being eligible to return to the ice.
That situation means Manson is likely gone for the rest of November, potentially returning at some point in December. Beyond the evident hole in the lineup, the Avs used the move to open up some artificial cap space.
