Danford is recovering from a concussion, general manager Brad Treliving told Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun on Wednesday.
It was previously reported that Danford sustained a head injury Thursday, but we now know that it was a concussion specifically. The 18-year-old defenseman had a goal and 33 points in 64 regular-season contests with OHL Oshawa in 2023-24. Although Danford's expected to return to the OHL for the 2024-25 campaign, he might see action with the Leafs during the preseason if he recovers in time.
