We learned yesterday that the Anaheim Ducks will be without defenseman Josh Manson for around six weeks. Manson is dealing with an oblique muscle injury, which he suffered during Monday’s game against the Minnesota Wild.

Kodie Curran was sent down to San Diego (AHL) but Andy Welinski already got into the lineup and will likely play more games as well, while Ben Hutton should get a good opportunity and even Josh Mahura could get a chance. While Manson is a key part of the group, the Ducks do have some options.
