Happy Friday, Blackhawks fans. Our first weekend without NHL hockey gives us a couple days to relax a bit before the Olympic tournament begins in Milan. Without a lot going on other than Blackhawks players traveling to wherever they’re spending time over the two weeks before they get back on the ice in Chicago, I thought I’d drop a couple notes on guys playing well/struggling and provide a schedule of games involving Blackhawks prospects if you need hockey in your life.
The Blackhawks predictably assigned Sam Rinzel back to Rockford on Friday morning. Heading into the break, Ryan Donato’s been hot. In the last 14 games — during which he has three goals and four assists — Donato has the highest on-ice goals-for percentage for the Blackhawks at five-on-five (8 goals for, 5 against). Donato scored 31 goals last year, blowing away his previous career bests in almost every category. While he might not reach that mark again, he’s shown that he can be a strong scoring option for the Blackhawks — and has the versatility to play a number of roles. On the other end of the spectrum, the Blackhawks’ leading goal scorer has been quiet recently. Tyler Bertuzzi heads into the break with 25 goals in 54 games, on pace for his best season in the NHL. But he’s scored only once in his last 11 games. André Burakovsky got off to a good start this season, but the last two months have been tough. Since Dec. 1, Burakovsky has scored three goals and is minus-27 in 31 appearances. Since Dec. 1, Burakovsky ranks 13th on the Blackhawks in individual expected goals per 60 minutes (0.48) — behind a list that includes Dominic Toninato and Sam Lafferty (per Natural Stat Trick). More troubling: since Dec. 1, Burakovsky ranks 20th on the Blackhawks in shot attempts per 60 minutes. Connor Murphy rans 19th. Ben Pope dropped a brief notebook with some odds and ends that includes this quote from Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno about his approach to this year’s trade deadline:“I haven’t even had a conversation with Kyle yet, but I don’t really want to, either. I do and I don’t. I kind of want to know that we’re going to stick with it and go for it.”
