• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Nets lone goal in loss

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Donato scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken. Donato scored against his former team at 3:22 of the third period, ending Joey Daccord's shutout bid. While he's not on the top line as he was earlier in the season, Donato has stayed productive with two goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 28-year-old is up to eight goals this season after scoring 12 in 78 contests in 2023-24. He's added three assists, 39 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-3 rating over 15 appearances.

• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Notches power-play assist

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Donato logged a power-play assist and five shots on goal in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. Donato lost his top-line gig after the end of his five-game point streak in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Red Wings. The 28-year-old still held a spot on the top power-play unit, which will keep him in the mix for fantasy consideration a little while longer. However, an even-strength assignment on the fourth line is likely to take a toll on his numbers. Donato has 10 points, 33 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 contests this season. Until he's back alongside Connor Bedard on a regular basis, Donato is a player fantasy managers can replace once his offense goes cold.

• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Stays hot with top-line move

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Donato scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks. Donato provided an insurance tally in the third period, his fifth goal and seventh point in his last five games. That hot stretch earned him a chance to play alongside Connor Bedard on Sunday, though Donato still saw just 13:46 of ice time. The 28-year-old has seven goals, two helpers, 23 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-5 rating through 11 appearances this season. Donato can get hot over short stretches, but he'll probably be cycled off the Blackhawks' top line once his offense goes cold, so fantasy managers may want to consider him a streaming option only.

• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Lights lamp again in loss

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Donato scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks. Donato has five goals and one assist over his last five contests. The 28-year-old was scratched in back-to-back games Oct. 15-17, but he's been in the lineup for the last six games, and he's playing well enough to maintain his bottom-six spot. The forward has six goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-4 rating through nine appearances in 2024-25. He'll need to stay sharp to keep Joey Anderson and Andreas Athanasiou in the press box.

• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Best game of season Monday

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Donato notched two goals, including an empty-netter in the final minute of the third period, and one assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. Donato endured a slow start to the season with only one point over his first four outings, but he's bounced back of late. The 28-year-old has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last four appearances, and this was his first multi-goal -- and multi-point -- game of the campaign. Donato is certainly trending in the right direction and will aim to keep the streak alive when facing the Sharks on Thursday.
