Ryan Donato nets last-minute winner as Blackhawks edge Lightning
Ryan Donato scored twice, including the tiebreaking goal on a rebound with 54 seconds left, and the visiting Chicago Blackhawks finally solved Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy in a 3-2 win over the Lightning on Thursday night.
After the Anaheim Ducks tied the game with under a minute left, Chicago Blackhawks fans groaned as they felt another close defeat brewing. Ryan Donato had other plans.
The Hawks aren't playing perfect hockey, but they're overcoming mistakes with hard work and the pursuit of success. That carried them to a 3-2 victory Thursday.
As the public address announcer at Benchmark International Arena belted the final tones of ‘This is the final minute of the period’ on Thursday night, Tampa Bay Lightning fans appeared due for at least one point banked in the standings and a period of overtime hockey.
Donato is off to a solid start with the Blackhawks this season, as he has recorded three goals, two assists, five points, and a plus-3 rating in seven games. However, he has been heating up as of late, as he has recorded all five of his points so far this season during his ongoing four-game point streak.
