Danault has 13 points on the season so far (4G/9A), while Dubois has scored five goals and added four assists in 18 games played. GAME EXPECTATIONS Both teams are on the second half of a back-to-back for this game, and both teams traveled last night to meet in Los Angeles. And while the Kings are seven points ahead of the Canadiens in the standings, they have struggled to win on home ice. Can that help a Montreal team sporting a 4-3-2 road record?
