Top Ryan Donato News

  • Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Two points in Sunday's loss

    Donato delivered a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blues.

    The 27-year-old center snapped a six-game point drought with his first multi-point performance of the season. Donato typically skates in a bottom-six role but has been seeing power-play time for Chicago, and he has collected four goals and nine points in 19 games -- a pace that would allow him to top the career-high 16 goals and 31 points he scored for the Kraken in 2021-22.

  • Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: On board first in win

    Donato opened the scoring for the Blackhawks in their 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights on Friday.

    Donato's stock is on the rise, as he's averaging 17:28 of ice time -- including 3:52 on the power play -- which are career-high marks for the seventh-year skater. It certainly doesn't hurt that his latest contribution led to a win over a Golden Knights team that still hasn't lost in regulation. The season is young, but Donato is chugging right along with four points through his first eight games with the Blackhawks.

    Donato picked up the secondary helper on rookie Connor Bedard's first NHL goal -- Donato also added three shots on goal, a blocked shot and a hit across 18:45 of ice time on 20 shifts. The only negative on the night was the fact Donato won just one time on six tries at the faceoff dot. He and his teammates will be back at it Saturday in Montreal.

  • Kraken's Ryan Donato: Snaps slump with helper

    Donato provided an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blues.

    Donato ended a seven-game point drought when he set up a Jamie Oleksiak goal in the third period. That tally ended up being the game-winner. Donato has at least stayed in the lineup despite a lackluster last month or so -- he's been in the mix for healthy scratches when things are going poorly in the Kraken's bottom six. The 26-year-old has 12 goals, 10 helpers, 88 shots on net, 49 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 53 appearances.

The 26-year-old has been effective in that role this season with 21 points, 76 shots on net, 41 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-18 rating through 45 contests.

  • Kraken's Ryan Donato: Nets lone goal in shootout loss

    Donato pounced on a failed clearance and beat Pavel Francouz from the right circle midway through the second period. Donato has three goals and three helpers over his last six contests.

Donato has 11 goals, 19 points, a plus-16 rating, 67 shots on net and 34 hits through 39 appearances.

  • Kraken's Ryan Donato: Three points in Thursday's win

This was arguably Donato's best game of the season, and it was his second multi-point effort in the last four contests. The 26-year-old is up to 10 tallies, 18 points, 66 shots on net, 33 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 38 appearances. While he primarily works in a bottom-six role, the Kraken's depth has allowed him to be an effective contributor.

  • Kraken's Ryan Donato: Records two helpers vs. Chicago

    Donato registered two assists in Saturday's 8-5 win against Chicago.

    Both of Donato's helpers came during the first period on Jared McCann goals. He has eight goals and 15 points in 35 contests in 2022-23. Donato entered the game averaging just 11:03 of ice time this season, and he's unlikely to make regular offensive contributions unless his role with the team grows.

  • Kraken's Ryan Donato: Sends another assist

    Donato posted an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

    Donato continues to chip in solid offense from the fourth line. He has five goals and two assists over his last eight games, though his 8:28 of ice time Sunday suggests he may have drawn the ire of head coach Dave Hakstol. Morgan Geekie was a healthy scratch in Eeli Tolvanen's team debut, but Donato could also be a candidate to head to the press box at some point, though his strong offense of late would be his best case to stay in the lineup. The 26-year-old has eight goals, five helpers, 55 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-11 rating through 31 appearances.
