The Chicago Blackhawks (3-6-1) visit the San Jose Sharks (2-7-2) for their second matchup this season, after Donato led Chicago to a 4-2 win last time.
Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini, the NHL's No. 1 pick, is back Thursday after almost 3 weeks on injured reserve. He shined with a goal and assist before his injury.
Will Smith's two goals, including the winner in the second period, helped the Sharks end their 9-game skid, beating the Blackhawks 3-2. Sharks win three straight.
