Danault Keeps Driving Canadiens' Playoff Push

Philippe Danault has a way of showing up where playoff hockey gets decided, and Montreal clearly knows it. When a player becomes that central to a run, teammates talk about him like he is the piece holding the whole thing together. The Canadiens do not seem interested in treating that kind of value as a coincidence, because coaches and players know exactly what it looks like when a center tilts a series in the right direction.
