5. Ryan Donato

Ryan Donato may not have scored any goal on Saturday night but he had a great game.

Donato looked great in the offensive zone. He was skating hard and had some quality scoring opportunities. Hopefully next time Donato will be able to convert on these opportunities.

After getting sent down early on in the season it seems that Donato has improved as a player. He is more well balanced and well adjusted to the style of play in the NHL. I am expecting a strong 2nd half of the season from Ryan Donato.

Now we get to wait for New Year’s Day to arrive. The Winter Classic has finally arrived. We will see the Bruins play outdoors at the legendary Notre Dame Stadium.

Hopefully, the Boston Bruins will hop over the .500 mark in Winter Classic games and defeat the Chicago Blackhawks in which should be a great Original 6 matchup.
