Dansk did appear in four games for the Knights during their inaugural season and has a 3-1-0 career NHL record with a 2.89 goals-against average, .915 save percentage, and one shutout.
Lehner suffered an upper body injury in the Knights morning skate February 9th and has not seen action since.

Fleury has led the Knights to a 4-3-0 record with 2 shutouts and has given up only 11 goals in this seven game span.
Prior to Lehner’s injury Knights coach Pete DeBoer rotated Lehner and Fleury with starts every other game. There is no word from the Knights if the reassignment of Dansk will lead to Lehner returning to the lineup.
