At the start of last season, if you had told an average Blackhawks fan that Ryan Donato would end the season as the team's leading goal scorer, I am not sure they would believe you. Donato, who had never scored more than 16 goals in a season, nearly doubled his total with 31 goals in 80 games—and now he needs to prove he can do it again.
With the start of training camp, all eyes are on the Blackhawks' young stars and who will stand out from the pack. However, there is another interesting storyline to follow at camp, and that has to revolve around Donato.
