Danault practiced on the third line Friday, the first practice under new coach Claude Julien, Stu Cowan of Hockey Inside Out reports.

EDGE Analysis

Danault's scoring should take a hit, getting fewer shifts while not skating with Max Pacioretty and Alexander Radulov, Montreal's most consistent point-producers this season. His wingers now will be Arrturi Lehkonen, who hasn't scored in 10 games, and Andrew Shaw, who last scored seven games ago.
