Boston Bruins prospect and Harvard University forward Ryan Donato had an exceptional game tonight against the Under-18 United States National Development team in exhibition play. The Crimson owned the NTDP team during the game and came away with a 7-2 victory as Head Coach and former Bruins player Ted Donato prepare to kick the 2017-18 regular season off with a game against Dartmouth on October 29th.

The 6′-0″ 181-pound forward was the second round selection of the Bruins back in 2014 and is currently in his Junior year. Last year Donato had a career year posting 40 points in 36 games and definitely has the potential and surrounding teammates to surpass that number this season. Tonight the 21-year-old crafty player had a hat-trick and two assists for a five-point effort and his goals and highlights can be seen from the Harvard University official Mens Hockey Twitter account below.
