Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Notches power-play assist
Ryan 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
Ryan 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 Chicago 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
Ryan 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
Ryan 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.

Ryan Donato scored on his only shot on net in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Vancouver.Donato scored his second goal of the season at even strength in the first period of Tuesday's loss. The 28-year-old will be hard-pressed to find offense in 2024-25 due to his bottom-six role and lack of time on the man advantage. The left-shot forward has recorded two goals, two PIM, five shots, 11 hits and three takeaways across five outings. Donato is in the final season of a two-year deal signed with Chicago in July of 2023.

Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Pots Chicago's lone goal in loss
Ryan Donato scored a goal on his only shot in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss against Winnipeg.Donato whistled a wrist shot past Connor Hellebuyck after being sprung on a bank pass off the boards from Patrick Maroon to open the scoring in Friday's contest. Donato added two hits and a plus-1 rating in 10:51 of ice time. Offensive production will be hard to come by for the 28-year-old forward, given his fourth-line role, but Donato has performed capably as a depth forward with at least 30 points in two of the last three seasons. The left-shot forward would get a boost from staying on Chicago's second power-play unit, but he has been on and off during man-advantage situations so far this campaign.
