Los Angeles Kings center Phillip Danault broke an offensive slump with a huge performance in Sunday's 5-1 win over New Jersey, scoring his second career hat trick. The 31-year-old matched the points tally of his previous 11 appearances on Sunday. Danault, whose first career hat trick came five years ago, isn't a consistent performer on the attacking front, but he plays an effective game and has put together a solid season with the Kings. In 60 games, he's had 36 points (14 goals, 22 assists) with 128 shots and 61 hits.
Phillip Danault Delivers Three Assists In Monday's Win
Los Angeles Kings center Phillip Danault showed a great eye for a pass in Monday's 5-2 victory over Buffalo, finishing the contest with three assists. Two of his helpers came on the power play. Danault had as many points against the Sabres as he had managed in his previous nine outings combined. His game has been a bit off lately, but the 29-year-old has been having a productive time overall on the Kings' second line, bagging 14 goals and 39 points in 55 games.
Phillip Danault Stretches Goal Streak To Five Games
Los Angeles Kings center Phillip Danault scored in a fifth consecutive game on Thursday, opening the scoring on the power play in a 4-1 victory against Chicago. This is the longest goal streak by a Kings player since Marian Gaborik scored in five straight games in 2014-15. Danault is also currently on a seven-game point streak and has been kept off the scoresheet just once in his last 11 appearances. The 29-year-old has had a very strong year in L.A. and boasts 26 goals and 50 points in 77 games with 73 hits and a plus-14 rating.
Phillip Danault Delivers Three Point Night Saturday
Los Angeles Kings center Phillip Danault scored a goal and added two assists on Saturday versus the Philadelphia Flyers. Danault centered the top line of the night from a fantasy perspective. He scored midway through the third period after a nice setup from Trevor Moore. Philadelphia could not contain this line all night as even Danault had four or five prime scoring chances. He set up both first period goals by Los Angeles (Arvidsson and Moore). Danault upped his point total to 17 in 31 contests and remains a secondary fantasy threat in deeper leagues.
Los Angeles Kings center Phillip Danault has been ruled out of Sunday's clash with Washington after he was added to the COVID-19 list. The Kings now have three players unavailable because of COVID-19 protocols, with Danault joining Drew Doughty and Calvin Petersen. Danault has notched 14 points in 29 games as L.A.'s second-line center this season. His absence could give Blake Lizotte a chance to log top-six minutes. The 24-year-old was on the COVID-19 list himself recently, but he's returned to action with points in back-to-back games.
Los Angeles Kings center Phillip Danault had quite a night against the Minnesota Wild. He played more than four minutes on the power play and piled up seven shots on goal. If that was not enough, he opened the scoring for Los Angeles just 1:18 after Minnesota took a 1-0 lead. Drew Doughty was the one who set Danault up for his fourth goal of the season. The Los Angeles center has four goals and 13 points in 26 games. He is a top-six defensive center who scores timely but not often. That frustrates fantasy owners to no end but tonight he delivered.
Montreal Canadiens center Phillip Danault (concussion) didn't make the trip to Toronto to face the Maple Leafs on Saturday, and he'll be out of action indefinitely. The 28-year-old was first listed day-to-day after exiting Thursday's 5-2 loss against the Leafs, but with him now diagnosed with a concussion it's impossible to predict his return to the lineup. Danault has recorded a 24-point year with the Canadiens this season, posting five goals and 19 assists with a plus-nine rating. Jesperi Kotkaniemi will take over his duties as the first-line center on Saturday.
Phillip Danault Delivers Two Assists Thursday Night
Montreal Canadiens center Phillip Danault played a part in both of the team's goals in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa, picking up two assists. He recorded a helper on Brendan Gallagher's fifth marker of the season and helped Josh Anderson to score his seventh of the year in a short-handed situation. Danault was sitting on just three points ahead of the encounter, so it's not been a fruitful start to the season by him, but he has the opportunity to put some more points on the board against Ottawa's poor defense again on Saturday.
