EDGE Analysis
Danault scored at 11:06 of the third period to give the Kings a 4-2 lead, but it didn't last. Through five playoff contests, Danault has three goals, two helpers, nine shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-6 rating.

Danault (rest) is expected back in the lineup for Game 1 versus Edmonton on Monday, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Danault was given the night off for the regular-season finale against Vancouver on Thursday but should be back in his customary second-line center role. In his last seven contests, the 29-year-old Quebec native has been nearly red hot with six goals on 18 shots. Despite a recent lack of power-play production, he has just two points with the man advantage in his last 15 games, Danault should be back on the top unit for Monday's matchup.
