• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Earns two points in overtime loss

  04/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Donato scored a goal on two shots, dished a power-play assist and added two hits in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings. Donato made an impact in the Blackhawks' third-period rally, and the two-point effort got him to 30 points for the season. The 28-year-old ends the campaign with 12 goals, 18 helpers, 149 shots on net, 105 hits and a minus-14 rating over 78 appearances. Donato is under contract for 2024-25, so he'll likely be in line for a similar bottom-six role as a decent depth scorer next season.

  04/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Donato recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes. Donato has picked up three helpers over six games in April. The 28-year-old continues to bounce around the lineup, though he rarely sees more than bottom-six minutes regardless of which line he's listed on. Donato is at 28 points, 146 shots on net, 101 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 76 appearances, surpassing his 27-point campaign last year with Seattle.

• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Three points in comeback win

  03/24/2024 • By RotoWire

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

• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Nets power-play marker

  03/13/2024 • By RotoWire

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

• Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Two points in win

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