Ends slump with helper Danault produced an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact The Kings' recent lack of offense had taken a massive toll on Danault. Prior to Saturday, they had scored just 20 goals over their last 10 games, and Danault hadn't been involved in any of them. Even with the slump busted, the 32-year-old center still sits at five assists, 42 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances, production far too low to help in fantasy.

Can't find rhythm on offense Danault's point drought reached nine games in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Stretching back to late October, Danault has just one assist over his last 16 outings. The 32-year-old center has slipped into a third-line role amid his struggles, and he didn't see any power-play time in Tuesday's contest. Danault has four helpers, 39 shots on net, 20 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 26 appearances. He's topped 40 points in four straight years, but he'd need a massive surge to get there in 2025-26.

Records helper in overtime loss Danault notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Danault has earned two helpers through six contests so far. The 32-year-old center has been pressed into a larger role in the absence of Anze Kopitar (foot), who is week-to-week. Danault has added eight shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating. His defensive skills are good enough to handle top-six minutes, but don't expect him to be a big contributor on offense while also shutting down other teams' best players.

Offers assist Thursday Danault logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

Impact 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.

Two more helpers in loss Danault logged two assists, five shots on goal and six blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

Impact Danault has three multi-point efforts over four playoff games. He's amassed two goals, five assists, seven shots on net, six hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating this postseason. The second-line center plays a massive defensive role for the Kings, though his recent success on offense is enough to make him an option in DFS.

Stays warm with two assists Danault notched two assists, including one on the power play, and five blocked shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

Impact Danault has turned up the offense in the postseason, earning two goals and three assists over the first three games of the playoffs. He's also posted two shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. While Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe have gotten most of the headlines in this high-scoring series, Danault's steady two-way play makes him a reliable value pick in DFS contests.

Adds power-play helper in win Danault logged a power-play assist and two hits in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

Impact Danault helped out on a Brandt Clarke tally in the first period. The assist was Danault's third point over two playoff outings after his heroic two-goal effort in Game 1. The center is filling a middle-six role and should provide decent secondary scoring while also offering elite defensive work against the Oilers' top players.

Plays hero role in Game 1 Danault scored two goals and racked up three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Impact Danault was the unsung hero for the Kings in this series opener, as he came through in the final seconds of the third period to give the Kings the win after the team blew up a four-goal lead. Danault is not expected to be a go-to scoring option for the Kings on a regular basis, however, as evidenced by the fact that he found the back of the net a mere eight times in 80 regular-season appearances. That said, he was at the right place and at the right time to propel the Kings to victory in this high-scoring matchup.
