Dansk was put on waivers Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Dansk provided a record of 11-12-3 with a 3.22 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 27 regular-season appearances with AHL Calgary in 2023-24. If the 30-year-old clears waivers and heads to AHL San Diego, Calle Clang could begin the 2024-25 campaign as Lukas Dostal's backup due to the absence of John Gibson (abdomen).

Oscar Dansk: Set for free agency
Rotowire
Dansk will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Dansk spent a large portion of 2020-21 either on the Golden Knights' taxi squad or as a backup. He won his only game, and the Swede also posted a 6-3-0 record with a 2.99 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 11 games with AHL Henderson. At 27 years old, it's possible Dansk could garner interest as organizational depth, but he has just six NHL games to his name so far.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Wins in season debut
Rotowire
Dansk allowed four goals on 29 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
Dansk made his season debut, and while it wasn't a pretty process, he picked up his fourth NHL win. The 27-year-old goalie has mostly served as a backup to Marc-Andre Fleury while Robin Lehner (upper body) has been out. Dansk isn't likely to see much additional playing time for the Golden Knights this season.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Back to taxi squad
Rotowire
Dansk was reassigned to the taxi squad Sunday, CBS Sports reports.
Depending on the status of Robin Lehner (upper body) for Monday's game against the Avalanche, Dansk could join the active roster again. Still, the 26-year-old likely won't see NHL action anytime soon.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Back on active roster
Rotowire

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Elevates to active roster
Rotowire
Dansk was added to the active roster Thursday and is expected to serve as the backup for the Golden Knights' game against Anaheim, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
Robin Lehner won't suit up in the contest due to an undisclosed absence, so Vegas will deploy Dansk in his stead. The 26-year-old saw just one appearance last year for Vegas, taking a loss after surrendering six goals on 37 shots. He'll likely be the primary No. 2 behind Marc-Andre Fleury as long as Lehner is sidelined.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Waived by armored ones
Rotowire
Dansk was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Monday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
It's no secret that the Golden Knights will deploy Robin Lehner and Marc-Andre Fleury as the team's top two netminders this season. However, Dansk demonstrated in the team's inaugural season that he can be relied upon in a pinch, as evidenced by his robust .946 save percentage and a shutout through four games. The Swedish backstop was blitzed for six goals allowed in his lone NHL appearance last season, but Vegas still rewarded him with a one-year, $700,000 extension last June.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Lands one-year extension
Rotowire
Dansk signed a one-year, $700,000 contract extension with the Golden Knights on Thursday.
Dansk has only appeared in one game with the big club this campaign, and it was a disaster with him surrendering six goals on 37 shots en route to a blowout loss to the Flyers on Oct. 21. The 2012 second-round pick has, however, been decent in the minors, compiling an 18-12-4 record while posting a 2.57 GAA and .908 save percentage in 35 appearances with AHL Chicago. The 26-year-old Swede will likely once again spend most, if not all, of the 2020-21 campaign in the minors.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Dansk was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday.
Dansk served a backup role behind Malcolm Subban for Friday's game against the Hurricanes. Marc-Andre Fleury's one-game suspension for skipping the All-Star Game is complete, so Dansk will return to his role as AHL Chicago's starter.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Summoned to The Show
Rotowire
The Golden Knights recalled Dansk from AHL Chicago on Thursday.
Marc-Andre Fleury will serve a one-game suspension Friday for skipping the All-Star Game, so Dansk will be on hand to serve as Vegas' second netminder against the Hurricanes. The 25-year-old backstop will almost certainly be sent back to the bus league ahead of Saturday's matchup with Nashville.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Dansk was promoted from AHL Chicago on Thursday.
The fact that Dansk will sit on the roster during the All-Star break instead of Max Lagace -- who will play for the Wolves in the minors -- is a good indication of how the organization ranks the two netminders. Even if Malcolm Subban (illness) remains unavailable versus Carolina on Feb. 1, look for Dansk to be shipped down to the minors prior to that clash, rather than serving as the backup.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Exposed to waivers
Rotowire
Dansk was placed on waivers by Vegas on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Dansk was terrific for the Golden Knights in their inaugural campaign, as he went 3-0-0 with a 1.78 GAA and .946 save percentage over four games. It had taken a litany of injuries to the Golden Knights netminders -- including Marc-Andre Fleury -- for the Swede to see action at hockey's highest level in the first place. Still, if Dansk clears waivers, he'll likely report to AHL Chicago, which is the top development affiliate for Vegas.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
Dansk was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Dansk's demotion was expected after he was taken off injured reserve, considering he is firmly cemented behind Marc-Andre Fleury and Malcolm Subban on the organization's depth chart. Barring an injury, the youngster Dansk should remain with the Wolves for the rest of the 2017-18 campaign.

Golden Knights' Oscar Dansk: Cleared to return
Rotowire
Dansk (lower body) has been taken off injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
Dansk will almost certainly be reassigned to AHL Chicago now that he is healthy, as he is firmly cemented in the third netminder role behind Marc-Andre Fleury and Malcolm Subban. In his four outings for the Golden Knights, the 23-year-old posted a perfect 3-0-0 record -- including registering the first NHL shutout of his career.
