Danault scored six goals and 34 points in 33 games for the Victoriaville Tigres of the QMJHL.
Edler was previously deemed a game-time decision but it sounds like he will play after all. His 24 points are tied for fourth among defensemen in scoring. Expect him to play tonight.
Edler was injured at the hands of Sharks forward Jamie McGinn but is practicing with his normal partner Sami Salo. He scored three goals and 16 points through 23 games. Expect him to stay in the lineup.
If Edler can't play, look for Alexander Sulzer to take his place in the lineup. Expect a future update on his status.
Doughty gets a more defensive partner as coach Terry Murray did not like the two together. So far he has two goals and seven points but posted no points and a minus-2 rating last night.
Edler has registered three goals and 16 points over 19 games so far, playing every game for the Canucks. He likely plays tonight but Alexander Sulzer will draw in if he cannot.
The Kings finally put these two together at even strength. Doughty somewhat struggled in the early going but has solid numbers with two goals and seven points over 12 games.

Sounds like Doughty is making progress and could be good-to-go this weekend. As always, stay tuned for a further update.
A few more days of no contact would rule Doughty out for the next two games with a new target date set for the 29th or 30th of the month. Stay tuned, as always, for a further update.
Certainly good news for Doughty, the Kings and fantasy hockey owners. The team plays both Thursday and Saturday and could get their number one d-man back around then.
Certainly an encouraging sign for his fantasy hockey owners but Doughty likely stays sidelined at least until Tuesday. Stay tuned for a further update on his status...
Kopitar has been on a tear to start the season. At this point he should be considered an elite center across all fantasy hockey formats.
