Impact Danault will miss his second game due to his upper-body issue, having previously been sidelined against Calgary on Saturday. 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 does play Monday, Arthur Kaliyev is the most likely candidate to be dropped from the lineup.
