Donato scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
Donato has played a bottom-six role so far this season. The 30-year-old forward is up to two goals, one assist, 11 shots on net, four hits, five PIM and a minus-6 rating over eight appearances. This was the first time he finished with a positive plus-minus rating in a game in 2026-27. While Donato has displayed some scoring talent before, his current role is one that will leave him on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Donato scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
He put the Blackhawks up 1-0 in the first period. Donato added one shot and one hit in 9:25 of ice time. Two seasons ago, he registered a whopping 62 points, including 31 goals, for Chicago, but that was like catching lightning in a bottle. Donato can play up the lineup with the likes of Connor Bedard (shoulder), but he can't carry a line. In the 2025-26 regular season, Donato delivered 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) while averaging 14:44 per game.

Donato scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
Donato opened the scoring for the Blackhawks with a wrister at the 9:01 mark of the first period, but the team couldn't hold on to the lead and gave up three unanswered goals that changed the flow of the game completely. Donato has 15 goals on the season, and this tally allowed him to snap a three-game pointless skid. However, with only four points in 19 games since the beginning of March, he's far from being a reliable option in most fantasy formats.

Donato scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.
Donato scored 1:08 into the game, but the Canucks had the next three tallies. This ended a five-game point drought for the 29-year-old forward. After the Blackhawks' sell-off at the trade deadline, Donato is one of the team's elder forwards, but he'll likely be limited to bottom-six minutes as the team sees what some prospects can do. He has 14 goals, 26 points, 90 shots on net, 68 hits and 36 PIM over 62 appearances this season, a far cry from his 31-goal, 62-point campaign last year.

Donato produced two goals and two assists in Monday's 6-3 win over San Jose.
At least for one night, Donato rediscovered his 2024-25 form. The 29-year-old hadn't had a multi-point performance since Jan. 1, and through 56 games, Donato has managed just 13 goals and 25 points, a huge regression after he delivered a career-high 31 goals and 62 points in 80 games last season.

Donato scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.
Donato snapped an 11-game goal drought with the tally. He's picked up three points over his last five outings, but he's in a fourth-line role currently, which doesn't bode well for sustained offense. Donato has struggled this season with 11 goals, 21 points, 82 shots on net, 59 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 53 appearances while moving all around the lineup.
