The Blackhawks closed their pre-break schedule with another tough loss. They were really good in the first period… and then the wheels seemingly fell off in the second (again). The second period has been an issue for the Blackhawks all season, but this was like they decided to splice a period of the game tape from the Florida game into the middle of an otherwise solid performance.
Connor Bedard goes into the break having points in 19 of his last 22 games. He has as many multi-point games as he has games without a point during that stretch, and has scored 9 goals with 14 assists over the 22 games. Since January 1, both Bedard and Ryan Donato have 16 points in 17 games. Donato has 8 goals and 8 assists while Bedard has 6 goals and 10 assists. Donato’s 8 goals since Jan. 1 are tied for 23rd in the NHL over that timeframe with the likes of Sebastian Aho, Nikita Kucherov, Matt Duchene, Kyle Connor and Tage Thompson. Pretty impressive company. Because the trade rumors aren’t going to go away until either the Blackhawks actually trade him, extend him or the deadline passes, Donato’s name came up when Elliotte Freidman gave his comments on Saturday night on Sportsnet. Friedman said he believes a few Canadian teams (he specifically mentions the Oilers) are interested in Donato. If he keeps putting points on the board every night at a $2M cap hit the Blackhawks are going to receive some interesting offers in the coming weeks.Saturday Headlines: Crosby/Hughes to make their 4 Nations decisionsTarasenko, Nelson, B.
