Playing career

Prior to turning professional, Manning played major junior hockey in the Western Hockey League with the Chilliwack Bruins.[1]

On November 23, 2010, during the 2010–11 season with Chilliwack, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Manning as an undrafted free agent.[2]

On March 8, 2012, after playing 32 games (9 points) for Adirondack Phantoms in 2011–12 AHL season,[3] he was called up to the Flyers main roster to replace injured Pavel Kubina.[4] He made his NHL debut the same day in a home game against Florida Panthers.[5] On August 27, 2014, Manning signed a one-year contract to stay with the Flyers.[6]

On March 21, 2016, Manning scored his first career NHL goal against Thomas Greiss of the New York Islanders.

On December 8, 2016, during a game against the Edmonton Oilers, Oilers star Connor McDavid claimed Manning boasted on-ice that he intentionally broke McDavid's collarbone the year before which had sidelined McDavid for 37 games, which he labelled as "classless" in a post game interview.[7] Manning denied the claim.[8] On February 27, 2017, Manning was suspended two games for interference against Jake Guentzel.[9] Manning concluded the 2016–17 season with 12 points in 65 games.

During the 2017–18 season, Manning recorded a career-high 7 goals and 19 points in 65 games to help the Flyers qualify for the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs. The Flyers ended up losing in 6 games to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

On July 1, 2018, Manning left the Flyers as a free agent and agreed to a two-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks.[10] He began the 2018–19 season on the Blackhawks third defensive pairing, adding 1 goal and 2 assists in 27 games before he was traded by Chicago, along with Robin Norell, to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Drake Caggiula and Jason Garrison on December 30, 2018.[11] Manning scored 1 goal in 12 games with the Oilers, before on February 18, 2019, he was placed on waivers by the Oilers and later re-assigned to AHL affiliate the Bakersfield Condors.[12] While with the Condors, Manning was suspended for five games for using a racial slur against Boko Imama of the Ontario Reign.[13] During his second game after the suspension, Manning lost a fight to Imama.[14]
