EDGE Analysis
Danault has three multi-point efforts over four playoff games. He's amassed two goals, five assists, seven shots on net, six hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating this postseason. The second-line center plays a massive defensive role for the Kings, though his recent success on offense is enough to make him an option in DFS.

Danault notched two assists, including one on the power play, and five blocked shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Danault has turned up the offense in the postseason, earning two goals and three assists over the first three games of the playoffs. He's also posted two shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. While Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe have gotten most of the headlines in this high-scoring series, Danault's steady two-way play makes him a reliable value pick in DFS contests.

Danault logged a power-play assist and two hits in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Danault helped out on a Brandt Clarke tally in the first period. The assist was Danault's third point over two playoff outings after his heroic two-goal effort in Game 1. The center is filling a middle-six role and should provide decent secondary scoring while also offering elite defensive work against the Oilers' top players.

Danault scored two goals and racked up three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Danault was the hero for the Kings in this series opener, as he came through in the final seconds of the third period to give Los Angeles the win after the team blew up a four-goal lead. Danault is not expected to be a go-to scoring option for the Kings on a regular basis, however, as evidenced by the fact that he found the back of the net a mere eight times in 80 regular-season appearances. That said, he was at the right place at the right time to propel the Kings to victory in this high-scoring matchup.

Danault scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Danault remains warm on offense -- he got on the scoresheet for the fifth time in six games. In that span, he has two goals and three assists. The 32-year-old center is up to eight goals, 39 points, 116 shots on net, 77 hits, 68 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 72 appearances.
