Blue Jackets' Justin Danforth: Lights lamp again Saturday
Danforth scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Danforth has four points over his last seven outings, and he's scored in back-to-back games. His tally gave the Blue Jackets a 2-1 lead in the first period. Danforth is up to five goals, 12 points, 59 shots on net, 76 hits and 36 blocked shots over 35 appearances. He'll likely continue to see middle-six minutes while Columbus' center depth is thin.

Blue Jackets' Justin Danforth: Opens scoring Thursday
Danforth scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
This was Danforth's first goal since Nov. 18. He went 18 contests without scoring, though he also missed 18 games in that span due to a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old, a natural winger, has moved to center to help the Blue Jackets while Sean Monahan (wrist) is out and Cole Sillinger is playing in a top-six role on the wing. Danforth is at 11 points, 58 shots on net, 75 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 34 appearances this season, so his fantasy upside is limited to deep formats with an emphasis on non-scoring numbers.

Blue Jackets' Justin Danforth: Snags helper Sunday
Danforth produced an assist and five hits in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.
Danforth has two assists over seven contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old forward has filled a bottom-six role since his return, so a lack of offense shouldn't come as a surprise. He's managed 10 points, 57 shots on net, 70 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 32 outings overall.

Blue Jackets' Justin Danforth: First point since return
Danforth logged an assist, three shots on goal, four hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
The helper was Danforth's first point in four games since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him over a month. The 31-year-old forward has resumed a bottom-six role, and he's valued for his defensive work and physicality. That won't necessarily make him a strong fantasy option. Danforth has nine points, 55 shots on net, 62 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 29 appearances in 2024-25.

Danforth sat out practice Wednesday with the injury and it is debilitating enough that he will miss Thursday's contest. Danforth has three goals and five assists in 25 contests this season.

Blue Jackets' Justin Danforth: Dealing with lower-body injury
Danforth missed Wednesday's practice due to a lower-body injury, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Danforth has three goals and eight points across 25 appearances in 2024-25. He might still be an option for Thursday's game against Washington, but that's not a certainty. Mathieu Olivier (lower body) is also questionable for the upcoming tilt, and if either of them can't play, then Mikael Pyyhtia will likely draw into the lineup.

Danforth scored a shorthanded goal, added three hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
Danforth played 16:31 in this contest, third-most among Blue Jackets forwards, despite being listed on the fourth line. The lopsided nature of the game likely played a role in that, but he's also been a trusted part of the lineup this season.
