Could return following break Danforth (lower body) is trending toward a post-Olympic return to action, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports Monday.

Impact Danforth has been out of the lineup since Oct. 15 versus the Senators, a stretch of 47 games on injured reserve due to his lower-body issue. Once given the all-clear, the 32-year-old winger will likely slot into a bottom-six role. At this point, with his extended layoff, Danforth will likely miss the 20-point threshold for the first time since 2022-23 when he was with Columbus.

Placed on injured reserve Danforth (lower body) was put on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Danforth left Wednesday's 8-4 win over Ottawa because of the injury, and he's expected to be on the shelf for at least a month. The 32-year-old has no point, minus-2 rating, two PIM, two shots, three hits and four blocks in four appearances this year. Mason Geertsen, who was a healthy scratch for two of Buffalo's opening four games, might play regularly on the fourth line while Danforth is unavailable.

Out more than a month Per Heather Engel of NHL.com, Danforth (lower body) will miss more than one month, according to head coach Lindy Ruff on Friday.

Impact Danforth was injured Wednesday versus the Senators. He has yet to pick up a point in four games this season. Expect Danforth to return in a bottom-six role, when he comes back, likely in December.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Wednesday's game Danforth (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Senators.

Impact It's not clear what caused Danforth's injury. The 32-year-old forward was up on the second line for this contest but managed just 6:14 of ice time. If Danforth can't play Saturday versus the Panthers, Josh Dunne or Mason Geertsen could enter the lineup, while Jiri Kulich or Josh Doan would be most likely to gain ice time.
