The Colorado Avalanche signed defenseman Josh Manson to a two-year contract extension through 2027-28 on Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Manson, 33, has spent three-plus seasons with the Avalanche after beginning his NHL career with the Anaheim Ducks, though he was limited to 48 games in 2024-25 due to injury.

He tallied 15 points (one goal, 14 assists) in that time and has amassed 57 points (13 goals, 44 assists) and 443 hits in 173 games for Colorado. Manson was a trade deadline acquisition for the Avs in 2022, and he helped the team win the Stanley Cup a few months later (three goals, five assists in 20 playoff games).

'Josh has been an important member of our blue line since joining the team during the 2022 stretch run,' Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said in a statement. 'He is a steady and tough defender who chips in on the offensive side at key times. He is also a veteran leader in our dressing room, and we are excited to have him under contract for another three seasons.'

Across 11 seasons with Anaheim (2014-22) and Colorado, Manson has tallied 39 goals, 131 assists and 1,526 hits in 626 games.
