Danault (illness) was acquired by the Canadiens from the Kings on Friday in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick (originally belonging to Columbus).
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.

With Quinton Byfield (illness) also unavailable, the Kings will need to utilize both Jeff Malott and Andrei Kuzmenko on the fourth line.

Danault produced an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings' recent lack of offense had taken a massive toll on Danault. Prior to Saturday, they had scored just 20 goals over their last 10 games, and Danault hadn't been involved in any of them. Even with the slump busted, the 32-year-old center still sits at five assists, 42 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances, production far too low to help in fantasy.
