EDGE Analysis

Danault got a piece of a Mike Matheson shot for the Canadiens' second goal. This was Danault's second tally in the last four contests. The 33-year-old center is up to four goals, 15 points, 74 shots on net, 42 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 54 appearances between the Canadiens and the Kings this season. Danault's defensive work will keep him in the lineup, but he's only good for modest offense most of the time.

Danault is playing a bottom-six role for Montreal and likely won't be much of a factor in fantasy.

EDGE Analysis

Danault's slow start to the season with the Kings turned him into a trade candidate, and he'll be back with the Canadiens for a second stint. Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Danault won't be able to suit up Saturday versus the Penguins, but he could be available for Sunday's rematch in Pittsburgh to close the home-and-home set. Through 30 games this season, he's earned just five assists with 42 shots on net and 22 hits. Danault has never been a strong goal-scorer, so fantasy managers should expect him to get just a slight bump in offense, likely in a middle-six role.

Danault (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Lightning, Jared Shafran of LAKingsInsider.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Danault will miss his fourth straight game while dealing with the flu.

Alex Turcotte remains on the third line and Samuel Helenius stays in the lineup with Danault out Thursday.
