Danault picked up two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-2 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

He got the secondary assist on the first two of Max Pacioretty's goals, so Danault is still reaping the benefits of first-line action. However, he hadn't been reaping much at all in the six games leading up to the All-Star break, as the pivot had just a single point and eight shots in that time. Don't expect consistency, but there's enough here for deep-league owners to deploy Danault -- at least until Alex Galchenyuk (knee) can return from IR.
