Danault was also the Canadiens’ top faceoff man, winning 54.5 per cent of his draws, and finished sixth in voting for the Frank Selke Trophy as the top defensive forward in the NHL.
Early in the off-season, Danault expressed frustration about the possibility of him becoming a third-line centre behind youngsters Nick Suzuki and Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who had impressive performances during the postseason. But that was before Bergevin went out and acquired wingers Josh Anderson and Tyler Toffoli, who are now playing with Suzuki and Kotkaniemi, respectively, at training camp.
That means Danault is back with his longtime linemates, Gallagher and Tomas Tatar.
“Obviously, I’m happy to be back with my lineys, Gally and Tunes,” Danault said. “The chemistry’s there as always. We got pretty much everything on our team. We got some size, we got some good centres, good wingers. We got everything, so there’s going to be some good matchups out there, too, and everyone can chip in. We got a lot of depth to play against the big lines out there.”
