Danault Returns to Habs at PERFECT Time | Habs Take 3 of 4 vs. Pens + An ENCOURAGING Week

The Habs snuck a trade under the wire before the holiday roster freeze and it is a significant one as Phillip Danault returns to Montreal.

Ian Boisvert breaks down the trade that reunited Danault with the city he took to the Stanley Cup Final and how his defensive style is exactly what the Canadiens need right now. After playing back to back games against the Pens, Montreal grabs 3 of 4 points. This back to back was part of a pretty successful week for the Habs, even if the top line has some work to do.
