Danault scored a power-play goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Danault has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, though this was his first power-play point of the campaign despite a steady role on the second unit. The goal was his seventh of the year, and three of them have been game-winners. The center is at 37 points, 114 shots on net, 73 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 69 appearances. He's not an elite scorer by any means, but he's warmed up recently after being tough to roster for much of the season due to inconsistency.

Danault logged an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Danault has a helper in each of the last two contests, though he was on a four-game slump prior to that. The 32-year-old center has reached the 30-assist mark for the third year in a row and the fifth time in his career, but it's hard to celebrate that milestone since his goal-scoring has taken a nosedive in 2024-25. He's at 36 points, 111 shots on net, 70 hits, 64 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 68 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
The tally snapped a 12-game goal drought for Danault, who still had eight assists and 29 shots on net in that span. The 32-year-old center has had little success finding the twine this year, though two of his six goals have counted as game-winners. He's up to 34 points, 102 shots on net, 67 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 62 appearances in a middle-six role.

Danault logged two assists in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Danault set up Warren Foegele and Trevor Moore for tallies in this contest. While Danault's goal drought reached 12 games, he's earned eight helpers in that span, though he's posted a trio of two-assist games as well to limit his steadiness on offense. The 32-year-old center remains more of a playmaker on the Kings' second line with five goals, 28 assists, 100 shots on net, 66 hits, 59 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 61 appearances.

Danault notched an assist and five shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Danault was productive in February, earning a goal and seven assists over eight contests. He set up a Warren Foegele tally in the first period of Friday's game. Danault is now at five goals, 26 helpers, 89 shots on net, 61 hits, 55 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 56 appearances. He continues to play on the second line and should offer supporting offense as well as strong two-way play down the stretch.

Danault recorded two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Danault helped out on third-period tallies by Trevor Lewis and Mikey Anderson. With seven points over five contests in February, this is Danault's best month since November, and it's even more impressive given the two-week gap in the schedule for the 4 Nations Face-Off. While he hasn't been outstanding, Danault has still earned 30 points (five goals, 25 helpers) with 80 shots on net, 59 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 53 games this season. If his uptick in offense is here to stay, he needs to be on most fantasy rosters -- he's reached the 50-point mark three times in his career and it's not totally out of reach in 2024-25, but he'd need a strong finish.
