RYAN DONATO NEWS

Picks up helper Saturday Donato notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact Donato's point streak is up to eight games -- he logged a helper in each game of Chicago's back-to-back set versus Utah and Nashville. The 28-year-old wasn't traded at the deadline, so he'll close out the year playing a large role on a weak team, a situation that has suited him nicely. He's up to 48 points, 139 shots on net, 97 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 62 appearances this season. The Blackhawks have until July 1 to get Donato to put pen to paper if they want to keep him around, as he'll likely be a popular free agent coming off of a career year if he gets to market.

Stays hot with goal Donato scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators.

Impact Donato's point streak is up to six games (four goals, five assists) following his first-period tally Wednesday. The 28-year-old is up to 23 goals, 46 points, 136 shots on net, 94 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 60 appearances. Fantasy managers may still want to wait through at least Friday's trade deadline to see if Donato gets dealt or not -- it's unlikely he'll be able to replicate his current scoring pace if he's stuck in a smaller role on a contender. If he stays put, he'll look to extend his streak versus Utah on Friday.

Two more points Monday Donato scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Donato closed out the scoring with an empty-netter in the final stages of the third period, but he had previously left his mark when he set up Ilya Mikheyev's goal in the second period. Donato, who was coming off a three-point effort in the 6-3 win over the Ducks on Sunday, has been outstanding of late. He's riding a five-game point streak and has notched 16 points (seven goals, nine helpers) over his last 10 outings dating back to Feb. 1.

Draws helper in loss Donato logged an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Donato moved back up to the top line Thursday, but his helper was on defenseman Ethan Del Mastro's first career NHL goal. This was Donato's third straight game with an assist, and he racked up four goals and seven assists over eight outings in February. The 28-year-old forward is up to the 40-point mark for the first time in his career, adding 129 shots on net, 94 hits and a minus-11 rating through 57 appearances. The trade deadline is a week away, and Donato has emerged as a top target for contenders because of his $1 million cap hit, but it's unclear if the Blackhawks will choose to move him or extend him at this point.

Earns assist with man advantage Donato logged a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Utah.

Impact While Donato was shuffled down to the third line at even strength, he remained on the top power-play unit. He has a helper in each of the last two games and five power-play points over seven contests in February, in which he has four goals and six assists in total. The 28-year-old forward is versatile and has also been productive with 39 points (10 on the power play), 127 shots on net, 93 hits and a minus-9 rating through 56 appearances this season.

Slings power-play helper Donato logged a power-play assist and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Donato's four-game point streak ended Saturday, but he bounced back quickly. He has nine points over six outings in February, and he remains on the top line for now, though the Blackhawks' listless return from the 4 Nations Face-Off break could lead to lineup shuffling. Donato has moved around a lot during his career year, which has seen him produce 19 goals, 19 assists, nine power-play points, 127 shots on net, 92 hits and a minus-8 rating across 55 appearances. His production may take a hit if he's off the top line, though not to the extent it would have earlier in the campaign.
