Ryan Donato - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Three points in comeback win Donato scored a goal on three shots, dished two assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Donato sparked the Blackhawks' comeback with a goal, then set up Tyler Johnson and Philipp Kurashev for tallies during the rally. This was Donato's first three-point effort of the season, and it's notable he did that from a bottom-six role rather than alongside Connor Bedard. Donato is up to 11 goals, 25 points, 139 shots on net, 89 hits and a minus-15 rating through 67 appearances, putting him right in line with his level of offense from the past two seasons.

Nets power-play marker Donato scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Donato has three goals and two assists over six contests in March. His tally Tuesday was his first power-play point since Jan. 16, though he's maintained a fairly steady role on the second unit during that time. The 27-year-old forward is a solid depth scorer with 21 points, 121 shots on net, 75 hits and a minus-19 rating through 62 outings. He's been on the fourth line lately, which gives him minimal fantasy value even with the power-play role.

Two points in win Donato tallied a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Donato picked up an assist on Connor Bedard's goal in the second period before extending Chicago's lead to 6-4 in the third, beating Connor Ingram with a wrister from the circle. It's Donato's second multi-point effort in his last five games, though the 27-year-old winger has just two goals and seven points in his last 31 contests. While Donato's usage on the power play could offer some value in deeper leagues, he shouldn't be counted on for consistent scoring production. He's up to eight goals and 20 points through 61 games this season.

Impact Donato earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 19 in this contest. The 27-year-old has bounced around the lineup a bit, but he's been on the first line recently, giving him a little upside while playing alongside Connor Bedard. Donato has 18 points, 106 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-19 rating through 57 appearances. He's worth a look in deep fantasy formats as long as he holds onto a top-line role.

Impact Donato helped out on a Kevin Korchinski tally in the third period. The assist snapped a six-game slump for Donato. The 27-year-old forward has a decent 15 points with 95 shots on net, 55 hits and a minus-16 rating over 49 appearances. He's not much of an option in fantasy when playing in a bottom-six role -- much of his production this season has come when he's been moved into a better spot in the lineup.
