Danault was struck in the head by a Zdeno Chara slap shot late in the second period Saturday, and was stretchered off the ice.

EDGE Analysis

In a relatively scary moment in the Bell Centre, Danault originally got back up to his knees shortly after the incident, but couldn't fully regain his balance and had to lay back down before being stretchered off, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports. Then in a rare occasion, both teams went to the locker room and the game was momentarily paused while Danault was tended to by the trainers off the ice. It's unclear at the moment how severe the injury is and his status should be updated shortly, but if he's unable to go Monday against the Islanders, Tomas Plekanec figures to slide up to the first line while Bryon Froese should center the fourth unit.
