Offers assist Thursday
Danault logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.
ANALYSIS
Danault was productive in the playoffs, earning two goals, six assists, nine shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The 32-year-old continues to slot in as the second-line center for the Kings, and while he's not the biggest scorer, he makes up for it with defense. His regular-season work -- 43 points in 80 games -- was his lowest output in any of his four years with the Kings. Danault is under contract at a reasonable $5.5 million cap hit for two more years, so there's every expectation he'll be back with his usual two-way duties in 2025-26.

Danault has never been an elite center, but as a second-line option, he's serviceable. The 31-year-old had 17 goals and 30 assists across 78 regular-season contests with the Kings last year, making it the fifth time in six years in which he finished with 47-54 points. He did manage to tally 27 goals in 2021-22 -- the only time he's reached the 20-goal mark in his career -- but that was because he launched a career-high 194 shots that season, which is a rate of fire he's never come close to matching before or since. Consequently, he shouldn't be counted on to be a good source of goals. However, the Kings are likely to continue to use him in that second-line center slot, which should help Danault put forth another point total in the range of 45-55.
