Danault (upper body) won't travel to San Jose for Thursday's game versus the Sharks, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
EDGE Analysis
Danault will miss his fourth game in a row. He won't be available to play until Saturday's game versus the Canucks at the earliest. It remains unclear if the Kings will stick with seven defensemen as they did Wednesday versus the Kraken or switch back to a more traditional lineup for Thursday's contest.

Danault (upper body) is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Kraken, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Danault will be on the shelf for a third straight game after previously being labeled a game-time decision. This may be a precautionary move for the Kings, who also play Thursday versus the Sharks. Pierre-Luc Dubois will center the second line and Jacob Moverare is expected to enter the lineup as a seventh defenseman for Wednesday's game due to Danault's absence.

EDGE Analysis

Danault (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Monday's matchup with Winnipeg, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Danault is in danger of missing a second straight game. The 31-year-old center needs just three more goals to reach the 20-goal threshold, a mark he missed last season by just two tallies. If Danault plays Monday, Arthur Kaliyev is the most likely candidate to be a healthy scratch.

Danault (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Danault's absence will likely force the Kings to dress seven defensemen, as they have no extra healthy forwards on the roster. Look for Pierre-Luc Dubois to see more ice time, while Trevor Lewis could also be in for a bump. Danault is considered day-to-day heading into Monday's game versus the Jets.
