While Danny was never projected as a top line defenseman, he does not need to be. He does need to be dependable and be a reliable second pairing defender. That is precisely what he has been this season for a Detroit Red Wings; the team is in desperate need of dependable defensive players.
Danny DeKeyser has played only 26 games because of a hand/wrist injury. He has three goals and nine assists to go with his plus 10 rating. The Wings will take it! His strength has always been an issue, but he has played well in spurts in past seasons, but sometimes he’s quickly shoved around.
