Danforth suffered a sprained MCL on Thursday and is expected to miss six weeks. He was placed on injured reserve.

Danforth was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jackets activated Max Domi (ribs) off injured reserve in a corresponding move, so they're no longer in need of Danforth's services up front. The 28-year-old winger is likely in for an extended stay in the minors.

Danforth was called up from AHL Cleveland on Saturday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Based on this report, Danforth will still watch on from the press box for the evening clash against the Kraken, but the Blue Jackets undoubtedly will appreciate having the extra depth up front given that Nathan Gerbe (hip), Emil Bemstrom (oblique) and Trey Fix-Wolansky (knee) are all out of commission with their respective injuries. Danforth is fresh off his first KHL campaign having deposited 23 goals and 32 assists for a Russian team called Podolsk Vityaz.
