Dano was assigned to AHL Springfield on Monday.

Analysis:

Dano, who recorded eight goals and 21 points in 35 games with the Blue Jackets this season, will remain with Springfield as long as that team's season is in progress, and if Springfield doesn't qualify for the AHL playoffs, he'll be a candidate to play for Slovakia in the World Championships.
