Chicago Blackhawks center Ryan Donato tallied three points during their 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday evening. In the second period, Donato tallied the primary helper on Teuvo Teravainen. In the third, Donato would find the back of the net twice, one of them coming on the power-play. This outing extended his current point streak to four games. Since the start of February, Donato has scored six goals and added eight helpers across a nine-game stint. During this stretch, the 28-year-old has logged 23 shots on goal and added 10 hits. Through 58 total games, Donato has found the back of the net 21 times (career-best) and added 22 helpers. Given his current stretch of performances, he remains a solid option in all formats.
Chicago 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.
Chicago 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.
Chicago 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.
Seattle 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.
Seattle Kraken left wing Ryan Donato will be replaced in the lineup by Morgan Geekie on Thursday against the Maple Leafs. Eeli Tolvanen has recently broken into the lineup with points in back-to-back games and head coach Dave Hakstol has been forced into some maneuvering with his lineup. Donato comes out on Thursday despite having recorded seven points in the last nine games. The run also included an impressive four-game goal streak. Donato has contributed eight goals and five assists in total from the fourth line this season, skating in 32 games.
Seattle Kraken forward Ryan Donato will be reunited with Alex Wennberg and Jordan Eberle Sunday against Dallas. He's been a regular on the first line recently but had to give up his spot to Jared McCann Friday against Vegas. Donato managed to grab an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss and he now boasts 24 points for the season in 60 games. The 25-year-old doesn't carry much fantasy value in standard formats, but he could be an interesting cheap option for DFS contests, especially with him also set to feature on the second power-play unit.
Ryan Donato Extends Goal Streak To Three Games Saturday
Seattle Kraken center Ryan Donato plays mostly a bottom-six role but on occasion can provide a good amount of offense. He did it again on Saturday night as Donato opened the scoring just 4:18 into the first period. Now, the forward only played 11:01 on Saturday but it was an impactful time. Donato fired four shots on goal in all and had four scoring chances. With a three game goal-scoring streak, the forward now has eight goals and 13 points in 27 games. Donato could break through his career highs in goals (14) and points (25) over the course of this full season. He may be a fantasy find in the deepest of leagues.
Ryan Donato Scores Only Goal On Wednesday For Seattle
Seattle Kraken center Ryan Donato has been a pretty solid bottom-six offensive option. He scored a goal on Wednesday as Seattle fell 4-1 to the Anaheim Ducks. Donato was able to beat Anthony Stolarz on the power play at 14:18 of the second period. That made the game 3-1 for Anaheim at the time. Donato showed at San Jose and even in Minnesota that he could contribute solidly on offense. Now, the forward has seven goals and 12 points in 26 games. Donato can create space and find ways to create offense while playing some power play time. That only boosts his value in fantasy leagues.
Seattle Kraken forward Ryan Donato registered the first goal in his team's franchise history on Tuesday. The 25-year-old buried a loose puck off a net-front scramble 11:32 into the middle frame of his team's eventual 4-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old, who signed with the Kraken as a free agent over the summer, skated 13:17 in the contest and also added two shots and a hit. Donato doesn't carry too much fantasy appeal at the moment (just 1% owned in Yahoo!) but could be a player to keep an eye on should he break into Seattle's top-six forward group as the season progresses.
San Jose Sharks forward Ryan Donato tallied a goal and an assist on Sunday in a 5-3 victory over his former team, the Minnesota Wild. Sunday's contest was Donato's first multi-point game of the season. Donato only had one shot on goal, but he saw 15:18 of ice time against his former teammates. Donato only has three points this season, but he is starting to see time on San Jose's first line and their second power-play unit. The Boston, Massachusetts native will likely add more points to the scoresheet as the season progresses, and he gets used to playing in his new role.
