The Canadiens forward shared a me sage of appreciation on his Twitter account Monday. On behalf of myself and my fiance, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your words of encouragement and support. Phillip Danault (@phildanault) Were deeply touched. Phillip Danault (@phildanault) Danault has 23 points (seven goals and 16 a sists) in 43 games for the Habs this season, good enough for third-most on the team. The Canadiens will re-evaluate his status on a daily basis, but there's currently no timetable set for his return. Jason Adam Jersey
