Danault notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old center has been fairly steady in a middle-six role this season, but he's had four slumps of three contests, which is just enough to make him a fringe option in fantasy. He's now at 14 points, 47 shots on net, 28 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 29 outings.
