Danault had an assist, one shot on goal, three hits and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Danault, along with Tomas Tatar and Paul Byron, were dogged on the forecheck behind the Toronto net, which eventually led to the first of Tatar's two goals. It was the second assist in three games for Danault, who along with Tatar worked with a new right winger Monday in Byron. He and Tatar will miss Brendan Gallagher (thumb), but the newly constituted threesome produced immediately.

Danault scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-1 win over the Senators on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
So, his story goes like this. Danault essentially slept through the first 28 games of the season -- he put up 11 points, including a single goal. Then he caught fire and has eight points, including six helpers, in his last five games. Danault and his linemates Brendan Gallagher and Tomas Tatar have been on fire in those five games. Danault is a mandatory activation with this level of heat.

Danault had two assists with six shots, two hits and one blocked shot in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Danault had a hand in goals by linemates Tomas Tatar and Brendan Gallagher. His clean faceoff win led to Gallagher's game-tying goal early in the third period, setting up Montreal's first win in 10 extra-time tries. It's been a frustrating season for Danault, a top-line center with points in just nine of 31 games. Thankfully for antsy fantasy owners, he's registered multiple points in six of those nine contests.
