With Richter missing with an injury to the head, Blackburn recorded his only shutout of his career on November 7 2001, during an overtime victory of 1-0 over the Calgary Flames. Blackburn rejected the idea about whether the load would prove too difficult for him, saying that he’d faced a greater workload during his juniors. After 17 consecutive games, Blackburn eventually burned out performing less efficiently and exhausting. It became clear that Richter’s problems with post-concussion syndrome would be difficult to ease, and that additional assistance was required. “We had to make a deal,” Glen Sather stated. “I did not want to see Danny lose his confidence and struggle, or for our team to struggle.”

He had nerve exploration surgery on March 31, 2004, then made an attempt to return to hockey, sporting a pair of blockers rather than the conventional blocker/catcher combination, as his injury rendered him incapable of rotating his glove hand. On February 1, 2005, he joined the Victoria Salmon Kings of the ECHL, going 3–9–0, with a 3.54 GAA in 12 games. On September 15, during the Rangers training camp, he suffered a strained MCL.
