Danielson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Danielson will likely get some extra minutes with the Griffins in Wednesday's matchup with AHL Texas, which will make him eligible to be promoted back to the NHL roster ahead of Thursday's clash with the Canucks. Prior to being a healthy scratch against the Senators on Monday, Danielson was struggling offensively, going 11 games without a point while generating just seven shots.

Danielson scored a goal in Monday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Danielson had gone nine contests without a goal, earning three assists in that span. The 21-year-old center is up to two goals, six points, 23 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over his first 15 appearances. He's been limited to averaging 11:02 of ice time per game, but the rookie is also seeing power-play usage that could boost his offense over time.

Danielson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old produced his first career points in his fifth NHL game, tipping home a shot by Axel Sandin-Pellikka early in the second period before feeding Emmitt Finnie for what proved to be the game-winner later in the frame. Danielson was the ninth overall pick in the 2023 Draft, and he could be ready to carve out a consistent role in the middle six for Detroit.

Danielson (undisclosed) was activated from the injured non-roster list and assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Danielson started the year injured but appears to be healthy enough to play now. The 21-year-old will likely spend most of 2025-26 with the Griffins, but he could be a call-up candidate if he plays well.

Danielson sustained an undisclosed injury versus the Sabres on Saturday and has no timetable to return, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Danielson's lack of a recovery timeline likely means he will begin the upcoming campaign on season-opening injured reserve. Once eventually given the all-clear, look for the 21-year-old to report to AHL Grand Rapids, where he figures to play the bulk of the upcoming 2025-26 campaign.

Danielson has not had a point in his last eight AHL contests.
EDGE Analysis
Danielson was selected ninth overall in 2023 and is spending his first professional season with AHL Grand Rapids, where he has four goals and 18 assists in 45 appearances. Danielson is expected to be a middle-two center at the NHL level, as he has a strong two-way game. He could get a taste of NHL action later in the season, once he snaps out of his current slump.

Danielson potted the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 exhibition win versus the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Danielson is a highly-touted prospect -- the 20-year-old was the No. 9 overall pick by the Red Wings in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The right-shot center will continue his upward trajectory with AHL Grand Rapids in 2024-25, but he could make his debut with the big club at some point during the campaign.

Danielson will return to his junior team, WHL Brandon, this weekend, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taken ninth overall by the Red Wings in this year's draft, Danielson has been turning heads in preseason, with the prospect managing two goals and two assists through five games. While it's no surprise that Danielson will require additional seasoning in the junior ranks, his future looks very bright given the lofty draft profile and seeing him make an immediate impact at the professional level. Last year, Danielson recorded 33 goals and 45 assists through 68 games for Brandon.
