Danforth takes that one right off the left kneecap. He's doubled over in pain on the bench after leaving to a chorus of sticks clanging on the wall in front of the bench by his teammates. #CBJ
Justin Danforth blocks a shot with 4:25 to go and is in major pain. The refs blow the whistle and Danforth slowly goes to the bench. Ouch. Put the body on the line there. #CBJ
