Tomorrow is the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. At the moment, the Tampa Bay Lightning will once again play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. One of the NHL’s most successful teams of the past ten years, the Bolts have once again made another bold trade to shake things up at the deadline.

Another player who fits the Lightning’s needs is Chicago forward Ryan Donato. Donato’s 17 even-strength goals are tied for 11th in the NHL despite averaging just 12:55 of ice time. His 1.34 goals per 60 minutes ranks seventh in the league among players with 50 games or more.
