Wife
The 25-year-old signed a new three-year contract worth US$9.25 million and after that on Saturday he got married to Marie-Pierre Fortin. Danault and Fortin have been dating for three years, but have known each other for five years. They first met when they were both living in the same duplex in their home town of Victoriaville.
Injury
Danault has apparently been playing “for a few days” with an unnamed injury, according to head coach Dominique Ducharme. In a press conference after the game, Ducharme reiterated that it did not seem to be serious.
The injury is clearly something the team or player – or both – don’t want to discuss this close to the playoffs. Danault left Wednesday’s game against the Ottawa Senators early as well, though he reached the 16-minute mark for ice time then. Against the Leafs he didn’t manage four, and left the team short-handed for the rest of the game.
Hockeydb
Danault was initially assigned to the Rockford IceHogs to begin the 2015–16 season. On December 18, 2015, Danault was recalled from Rockford to the Blackhawks, and on December 20, he earned his first NHL point with an assist on Andrew Shaw’s goal in a 4–3 win against the San Jose Sharks. He scored his first career NHL goal on January 8, 2016, the game-winner in a 3–1 win against the Buffalo Sabres. After solidifying a role amongst the Blackhawks’ fourth line and contributing with 5 points in 30 games, on February 26, 2016, Danault was acquired by the Montreal Canadiens (along with Chicago’s second-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft) in exchange for forwards Dale Weise and Tomáš Fleischmann.
