Danforth scored in the third period Thursday, helping the Blue Jackets to a 5-3 victory over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Danforth, who opened the campaign with a minus-4 rating against the Hurricanes on Oct. 12, has put his skill on display during the Blue Jackets' past five performances. The 29-year-old right winger's third-period goal Thursday tied the score at 3-all. It was his second goal in two games and his third point in four outings. Danforth, who scored 10 goals in 45 games as a rookie last season, appears to be earning a more defined role as a sophomore.

Danforth scored to spark the Blue Jackets' come-from-behind 4-3 overtime victory over the Canucks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Danforth showed off his hand-eye coordination by swatting an airborne puck into the net for his first goal of the season Tuesday. The play developed when Vladislav Gavrikov used his knee to lift a pass toward Danforth, who was standing near the crease. The 29-year-old right winger took a swing and cut the Canucks' early lead to 2-1. The comeback commenced on Danforth's lone shot on goal and the Blue Jackets eventually earned their first win of the season.

Danforth is practicing on the top line with Johnny Gaudreau and Boone Jenner, according to Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda.
EDGE Analysis
Danforth will get the first shot to replace the injured Patrik Laine on the top line as Laine is out 3-4 weeks with an elbow sprain. Danforth had 10 goals and 14 points in 45 games with the Blue Jackets last season and if he is able to click with Jenner and Gaudreau, his fantasy value over the next few weeks will skyrocket.

Danforth (lower body) will be back in the lineup versus Ottawa on Wednesday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.
EDGE Analysis
Danforth returns to action following a two-game stint on the sidelined due to his lower-body issue. Prior to his absence, the 29-year-old winger managed just one goal in his last seven contests while averaging 12:26 of ice time. Even with Danforth back on the ice, he is likely to be limited to a bottom-six role, making him a mid-range fantasy option at best.
