Danault delivered a hat trick Saturday in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Golden Knights.

Danault is a playmaker first, second and third, so this goal outburst was like an early gift from Santa. He hadn't scored in 11 games and had just two goals in 36 games prior, so the young man's first NHL hattie came out of nowhere. Danault's 22 points put him on pace for 49 this season, which would be a nice career boost for the 25-year-old pivot. Still, his position makes him a tough roll in shallow to medium-sized leagues. There are a lot of similar centers in the NHL.
