 On Tuesday, the team said Danault will be out of action for four
months.
Danault had suffered a torn labrum and while the prognosis for
recovery is good, his lengthy recovery time will challenge his
chance of having an impact next season.
The 22-year-old forward was expected to contend for third- and
fourth-line minutes on a new-look Blackhawks team next season.
Danault was the 26th pick of the 2011 draft and spent most of the
past three seasons with the AHL Rockford IceHogs.
