Status report
Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said there is a chance Manson could play after missing three games because of an upper-body injury. … Schenn and McDonagh each participated in the morning skate but neither defenseman will play. Schenn will miss his 16th straight game since being injured Oct. 10. McDonagh, out since Nov. 2, will miss his seventh straight game.
