Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Will be in lineup Thursday
Danault (illness) will suit up against New Jersey on Thursday despite missing the game-day skate, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Analysis:
Danault needs just one point to tie his 2015-16 total of 10, which he accrued in 51 contests split between the Canadiens and the Blackhawks. Although the center started the season off strong, he has waned of late and is bogged down in an 11-game skid without a point.
