Blue Jackets Activate Justin Danforth, Reassign Dylan Gambrell

October 17, 2024 at 1:58 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 2 Comments

The Columbus Blue Jackets are gaining some reinforcements for the second game of their four-game homestand. Columbus announced the organization activated forward Justin Danforth from the injured reserve while reassigning Dylan Gambrell to their AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters, after clearing waivers today.

Danforth’s formal activation was expected with Brian Hedger of the Columbus Dispatch reporting earlier today that Danforth would be in the lineup tonight against the Buffalo Sabres. Hedger also added that veteran defenseman Jack Johnson will return to the lineup rather than prospect David Jiříček in Erik Gudbranson’s absence.

Danforth failed to participate in any preseason games for Columbus last month while dealing with a wrist injury and will make his season debut this evening. He’s set to begin his fourth season with the organization after signing out of the Kontinental Hockey League in 2021.

He had his best professional season last year despite the Blue Jackets being a non-contending team. He scored 10 goals and 26 points in 71 games while averaging 14:16 minutes of ice time per night which was good for 12th on the team in scoring.

He’s expected to slot into the right wing next to James van Riemsdyk and Adam Fantilli on the team’s third line for tonight’s game against the Sabres. His two linemates have not played their best hockey to start the year combining for a 2.4 xGF and a 3.8 xGA according to HockeyReference.
