2 months agoChicago Blackhawks center Ryan Donato tallied four points during their 6-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Friday evening. In the second frame, Donato tallied two primary assists, both on the power-play on Connor Bedard and Seth Jones' goals. He also added his first goal of the game during this period during 5-on-5 play. Then, in the final frame, Donato found the back of the net for a second time, also during even-strength. He also added one hit and four total shots on goal with a +2 rating. This outing extended his current points streak to three games. Over his last nine contests, Donato has tallied 12 points (five goals, seven helpers). The 28-year-old looks to stay hot on Saturday evening when they travel to St. Louis to face the Blues.

1 year agoChicago Blackhawks forward Ryan Donato will miss Saturday's contest against St. Louis due to an illness. Reese Johnson will be replacing him in the lineup. Donato had some early success in Chicago as Connor Bedard's partner on the first line, but he's gone scoreless in 11 of his last 13 appearances. The 27-year-old has struggled to get over 12 minutes of ice time lately and sits on 10 points (four goals, six assists) for the season with 25 games played. Chicago has another game scheduled for Sunday against Washington, meaning Donato could be out for multiple contests.

1 year agoChicago Blackhawks forward Ryan Donato is set to start the season on the top line Tuesday versus Pittsburgh. The former Seattle man has been practicing with Taylor Hall and Connor Bedard, and it looks like he will make his Blackhawks debut playing alongside two of the team's best players. Donato has proven that he doesn't need to get much action to be a productive player, and he will be perfectly situated to make a significant impact with Hall and Bedard skating next to him. Last season, Donato put up 27 points (14 goals, 13 assists) in 71 games with the Kraken despite averaging only 11:15 of ice time.

2 years agoSeattle Kraken left wing Ryan Donato will be back in the lineup Monday against Montreal. He has watched the last two games from the press box as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old has been in impressive scoring form in limited minutes, posting eight goals and five assists in 32 games despite averaging only 11:03 of ice time. Before exiting the lineup, Donato was on a run of seven points in nine games, so he appears to be in very good form at the minute. Morgan Geekie is set to make way for Donato on Monday.
