Making his NHL debut with the Ducks in October of 2014, Manson has taken strides in each of his three seasons with the teams.

The lone Ducks defenseman to appear in all 82 games last season, Manson set a career high in scoring, plus/minus while matching his personal best in goals for a season.

The Duck open the season Thursday against the Coyotes on Prime Ticket (coverage starts at 6:30p with 'Ducks Live').
