He left the game after the first period and did not return after. He only played six minutes before he left the ice. It&#8217;s not surprising he&#8217;s out for a long period of time as he was unable to practice Tuesday. He was placed on Injury Reserve on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over his seven-year NHL career, Manson has only played for the Anaheim Ducks. He has <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> goals and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">76<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> assists for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">97<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> career points in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">388<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> career games. He was drafted by the Ducks in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sixth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> round, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">160th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> overall in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2011<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> NHL Entry Draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This season he has played in three games for the Ducks before he got injured.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What This Means for the Future<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manson plays a physical game and is a consistent defenceman for the Ducks. With his injury, Anaheim loses a little on that side. However, he is not that hard to replace and the Ducks have some options to use while the defenceman is out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hakanja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jani Hakanpaa<\/a> was the chosen one to replace Manson on Monday, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/shattke01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Shattenkirk<\/a>. Hakanpaa also replaced Manson on Wednesday&#8217;s game against Minnesota. It looks like he will be the one who takes over Manson&#8217;s minutes. It wouldn&#8217;t be the wisest decision to make Hakanpaa, a player with only nine games in the NHL, take such a big role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ducks still need to get another defenceman to fill the spot and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/huttobe01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Hutton<\/a> would probably be a good choice. Hutton was signed on January 15th to a one year deal worth $950,000 for one year. He missed training camp but if he&#8217;s ready, it would be a great deal for Anaheim to get him on the ice.
