The Los Angeles Kings have traded Philipp Danault (pictured) to the Montreal Canadiens for a second-round draft pick. Danault played for the Habs for five and a half seasons from 2016 to 2021 before his stint with LA, and will now be rejoining the team just before their back-to-back home-and-home against the Pittsburgh Penguins this weekend. Rebienvenue chez toi, Phil!

The regular-season hockey threads won’t be pinned, so you might want to keep this open in a separate tab if you’d like to keep an eye on it until the next one goes up. (Considering how fast unpinned posts slide down the home page, I’ll probably be slapping up a new one of these every Tuesday and Saturday as long as I remember to do so.) Otherwise, you can always find these under the Sports > Hockey menu at the top of the home page.
Have fun and happy hockey!
