'It's in my DNA': Danault back loving hockey life with Canadiens
Danault has six goals and six assists in 45 regular-season games after returning to Montreal, and his playoff scoring has helped the Canadiens advance.
- On Thursday, Montreal Canadiens centre Phillip Danault scored a crucial goal in a 6-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, opening the Eastern Conference final with immediate impact.
- The 33-year-old Danault returned to Montreal following a December trade from the Los Angeles Kings, where his role had diminished significantly with zero goals in 30 games.
- Captain Nick Suzuki credited Danault's mentorship, while Cole Caufield said his work ethic was "eye-opening." Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis noted he "fills in a chair" the team needed.
- Breaking a 13-game playoff goalless streak, Danault scored early in Monday's Game 7 overtime victory against the Buffalo Sabres, then added another goal against Carolina.
- Alexandre Texier noted Danault's value to a roster averaging 25.8 years old, the youngest to reach the third round since the 1993 Cup-winning Canadiens, as Danault relished returning to the team he cheered as a child.
