Latest news
Danielson produced an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Senators.
Danielson has opened the season on the fourth line, logging less than 10 minutes of ice time in each of Detroit's first three games. He's added just two shots on net and two PIM from that spot. The 22-year-old center won't carry much fantasy value while he's buried in the lineup. It wouldn't be surprising if he went to AHL Grand Rapids once the Red Wings' forward group is healthier.

Danielson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
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.
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.
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 was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
Danielson has produced one goal and four assists in four minor-league appearances this season. The 21-year-old forward might make his NHL debut against Chicago on Sunday, but it's unclear who will come out of the lineup if that happens.
RotoWire via ESPN · Nov 9
Danielson (undisclosed) was activated from the injured non-roster list and assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.
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.
