Overview
- Detroit announced the recall Sunday, with Danielson poised to debut as soon as today against the Blackhawks or in Thursday’s game versus the Ducks.
- The 21-year-old began the season sidelined, was reassigned on Oct. 24, and produced five points in four AHL games, including a shootout winner.
- He posted 12 goals and 39 points in 72 games with Grand Rapids last season and added a goal in three playoff appearances.
- Detroit’s established center group of Dylan Larkin, J.T. Compher, Andrew Copp and Michael Rasmussen is signed through at least 2026-27, suggesting Danielson likely starts in a bottom-six role.
- Recent moves and injuries contributed to the opening, with Michael Brandsegg-Nygard reassigned to Grand Rapids and Carter Mazur sidelined.
