The play-in series can become Phillip Danault’s breakout opportunity

A lot has already been said about the Montreal Canadiens and their run to the Eastern Conference final as the eighth seed in the 2010 playoffs, now over 10 years ago.

Jaroslav Halak and Mike Cammalleri have much of the spotlight from those runs, but players like Dominic Moore, and Hal Gill became cult heroes during the run as well. One player who also made a name for themselves was Tomas Plekanec. Going head-to-head against Sidney Crosby effectively was the chance for him to let everyone know what kind of player he was.
