SHORT BIO: Danny Taylor, born in Plymouth, England on April 28, 1986, was originally a 2004, 7th round pick of the Los Angeles Kings. As a standout in the Ontario Hockey League, including winning the OHL Championship in 2004, Taylor turned pro in 2006-07 and within a season battled his way up from the ECHL up to a lone game in the NHL with the Kings in 2007-08, a 20 minute appearance against the Dallas Stars with two goals against. Afterwards, Taylor bounced around between the ECHL, AHL, and Europe for four seasons, before finally getting his second chance with the Flames in Calgary. The 2012-13 season saw four different goalies suit up for the Flames throughout the season. His first appearance with Calgary was on February 18, 2003, a 33 save, 4-0 loss to Phoenix. The next game was when he donned this sweater. On March 3, 2013, Danny Taylor faced the Vancouver Canucks. He stopped 29 of 31 shots on that day, earning himself his first career NHL win with a convincing 4-2 score. After that season, he returned to play in Europe. In 2017-18 he returned to North America yet again and got into one more game with the Ottawa Senators, though spent the majority of the season in Belleville. Remaining unsigned at the conclusion of the season, Taylor joined the KHL in 2018-19. He remained in Europe thereafter and retired at the end of the 2021-22 season.
In his NHL career, Taylor appeared in four regular season games, going 1-2-0 with a 3.63GAA and 0.893% save average. He appeared in no playoff games. |
