On Wednesday night, Phillip Danault will finally play his first game in Montreal since being re-acquired by the Montreal Canadiens, but on Tuesday morning, he took part in his first practice in Brossard. The center didn't come alone, though; he brought his wife and two kids, and once the practice was over, he spent over 30 minutes playing with his son on the ice, with Lane Hutson joining at one point. After having a difficult start to the season in Los Angeles, the 32-year-old seems relieved and truly happy to be back home.
