The Los Angeles Kings traded forward Phillip Danault to the Montreal Canadiens on Friday, the team announced.
The Kings will receive a second-round pick that was previously acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of the trade.
It's a reunion for Danault, who played for Montreal from 2016-21. He helped the Canadiens make a run to the Stanley Cup Final in '21 and established himself as one of the league's best defensive forwards, finishing in the top 10 in Selke Trophy voting three times before signing a six-year contract with the Kings.
