• Kings' Phillip Danault: Riding five-game point streak

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Danault recorded a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets. Danault's helper extended his point streak to five games (one goal, five assists). The 31-year-old center has logged a shorthanded helper in five straight seasons, but he has just one goal among 13 career shorthanded points. That mirrors his overall production early in 2024-25 -- the center is at one tally, eight assists, 27 shots on net, 18 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 16 appearances in a second-line role.

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Danault registered an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks. Danault helped out on a Vladislav Gavrikov goal in the third period. The helper extended Danault's point streak to four games (one goal, four assists). He's already produced a better month on offense in November than he did in October. The two-way center is up to eight points, 27 shots on net, 18 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 15 appearances. The 31-year-old is firmly in a second-line role, so he should have steady offense, though there are other options at center in fantasy with more scoring upside.

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Danault posted an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks. Danault's off to a quiet start on offense this year with just two assists over six games.

His ice time has been under 17 minutes in two of the last three games, though that is likely a short-term trend in order to get his overall play back up to standard.

• Kings' Phillip Danault: Lends assist in overtime loss

  10/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Danault registered an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins. Danault's helper was his first point in two games this season. The center has added four shots on net and five hits. The Kings have an interesting balance at forward as they try to get three centers (Danault, Quinton Byfield and Anze Kopitar) sufficient minutes in line with their contributions. Of the three, Danault is the most defense-oriented, though he has earned at least 47 points in five of the last six seasons, so he isn't a total slouch in the offensive zone.
