Josh Manson has spent a lot of time in NHL press boxes lately, but he doesn’t want to jinx his newly regained health by naming a favorite.
“I don’t think that’s a question I want to start thinking about too much,” he said Friday.
Still, there was one happy coincidence while he was out for the past three months. When he traveled with the team on a West Coast trip that went through Vancouver, he bumped into his dad in the Canucks’ press box. Dave Manson, an Oilers assistant coach, was in town early for Edmonton’s game the next night.
