Status report
Danforth was activated off injured reserve and will play after missing 18 games because of a lower-body injury. …Labanc, a forward, will be a healthy scratch. … Romanov will be a game-time decision but is expected to play after missing practice Sunday because of maintenance. …Fasching took part in the morning skate for the first time since being injured during a 5-4 overtime win against the Boston Bruins on Jan. 5, but the forward still is on injured reserve.
