Anaheim Ducks defenseman Josh Manson played only 4:44 against the Nashville Predators on Friday night before leaving the game with an injury.
On Saturday, head coach Bruce Boudreau said it's a head/upper-body injury, according to the Los Angeles Times' Curtis Zupke, but wouldn't divulge any further details, including a timeline as to how long the 24-year-old may be out of the lineup.
Manson's been a regular on the Ducks' blue line, averaging 18:47 in ice time per game during the regular season, and tallying five goals and 10 helpers in 71 games.
Manson didn't skate Saturday, and the Ducks recalled forward Nick Ritchie from the AHL. Kevin Bieksa, dealing with an upper-body injury of his own, didn't play Friday, and said he's a game-time decision Sunday, according to The Tennessean's Adam Vingan.
"We'll see (Sunday)," Bieksa said. "You know the drill."
The Ducks dropped a 3-2 decision in Game 1 at home. Game 2 goes Sunday night at 10:30 p.m. ET.
