Danault will be part of Montreal's power play to start the season, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Danault has been primarily an even-strength player during his career and averaged a mere 29 seconds per game when Montreal skated with a man advantage in 2018-19. That was also a season in which the Canadiens finished 30th in power-play efficiency, so changes are warranted entering 2019-20. Danault, coming off a season in which he had a career-high 53 points, could establish a new benchmark if he sticks on the power play.
