When a speedy forward dares streak into the Ducks' zone, he must account for Josh Manson, who's been a physical presence all season.
The 26-year-old Manson is the only Ducks player to suit up in all 73 games, and even a skate blade to the face wasn't enough to keep him out of the lineup.
But Manson might finally be forced to watch from the press box as the Ducks gear up for their last road swing of the regular season, one that could decide their playoff fate.
He traveled with the Ducks for their game Wednesday against the Calgary Flames, but the top-four defenseman's availability is uncertain.
