CHICAGO -- Ryan Donato had two goals and two assists for the Chicago Blackhawks in a 6-2 win against the Nashville Predators at United Center on Friday. It was Donato’s first four-point game in the NHL. The forward has eight points (four goals, four assists) in his past five games.

The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Nashville Predators in a big way. Their offensive explosion led to the 6-2 victory.

Nilsson was one of the more productive U18 players in Sweden’s J20 ranks in his draft year and has been one of the most productive U20 players in the SHL this year (ahead of first-rounders like Edstrom and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard).

The Nashville Predators must look beyond this season. Adam Proteau lists three veterans the team could trade in the right circumstances.

The time is now for Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving to go all in. Toronto continues to be a force in the Eastern Conference, pushing towards the top spot in the Atlantic Division.
