Welcome back to "Who Is That Player?" Typically there are a wealth of options to choose from when it comes to the inscrutable black box that is the Blue Jackets' roster.
Today we examine
Justin Danforth
Justin is a 5'8 undrafted winger from Ontario attempting to establish himself in the NHL during his Age 30 season.
Having spent a full 4 years in college, Danforth bounced between the ECHL and AHL before decamping for Europe. After a couple of productive seasons in the Liiga he tried his hand in the KHL for Podolsk Vityaz where he dominated with fellow ex-NHLers Kaspars Daugavins and Mattias Tedenby.
Giving North America another try, Danforth returned for the 2021-22 campaign racking up 10 goals in 45 NHL games as a teammate of Max Domi and Gavin Bayreuther. After an abbreviated season last year due to a torn labrum he's back and looking to contribute on the Jackets' 4th line.
This concludes "Who Is That Player?"
