Danault scored a goal and tallied an assist, finishing with two points in a 4-2 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
In the final moments of the first period, with exactly "0.1" on the clock, Danault lit the lamp, scoring on a frantic two-on-one to give Montreal a 1-0 lead in a game where the hosts were searching for their first win since Nov. 15. The Habs' most reliable man down the middle got it done on a night that saw former Canadiens captains honored in a pre-game ceremony. Tuesday's performance put Danault over 20 points, now with 21 in 28 games, and the first-line center is hoping to improve on what was a career-best 53-point 2018-19 campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Danault led a rush through the neutral zone that eventually led to Montreal's first goal late in the second period. It was his fifth assist and 10th point over the first 16 games, putting him on pace for another 50-point season -- he had 53 in 81 games last season. The Canadiens' top-line center also won 13 of 21 faceoffs (62 percent) and was needed for 6:22 on the penalty kill, the key driver in his season-high 20:21 TOI.

Danault scored twice and led all Montreal forwards with 17:25 of ice time in a 4-3 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Albeit in a loss, Danault produced his first multi-goal game Sunday and now has seven points in nine games. The two-way center continues to be a favorite of Claude Julien's, as his ice time would indicate, and Danault is likely to see even more opportunities down the road. Don't expect his shooting percentage to remain where it is (20 percent).
