Two eye tests in a row tells me Donato has good straight away speed, enough to consistently move past defenders, and also, as per like four different times this game, move back to defense and catch up to play D.
Last night he was the Wild's best player, tonight probably 1-2 again. He should have drawn about 4 penalties that were not called, had four shots, an assist where he danced a bit through the d, chased the puck to #99's office, got hit on the boards, and made it happen for the goal to be scored.
This kid may not be a 1st liner 35 goal getter, but if he can be consistent like this, motor and all, his skating is good not great, he is not slow in any fashion, and his shot is great. He will be a solid 2nd liner. Again, if the consistency is there.
