The hat tricks were the third and fourth of his career. He was selected to the All-Tournament Team, finishing the two games with four goals and one assist and also earned ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honors in the last week of December. He was named the ECAC Hockey Player of the Month for December as well. Donato currently leads the nation averaging 1.00 goals per game and 1.67 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Donato was recently one of four players currently playing college hockey selected to the U.S. Olympic team competing in the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games between Feb. 14-25, 2018, an honor previously bestowed on his father, Harvard head coach Ted Donato, who represented the U.S. at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"ps_captionIns\" aria-describedby=\"caption-ps-captionIns\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/img-show\/I0000eGge1L_89HM\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Photo By: 2017 Omar Phillips\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC-5927.jpg\" alt=\"Cayden Primeau (31 - Northeastern) makes a third period save (2017 Omar Phillips)\" width=\"680\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-ps-captionIns\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cayden Primeau has stepped in as Northeastern&#8217;s No. 1 goalie and went undefeated in December with a 4-0-1 record between the pipes (photo: Omar Phillips).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Primeau went undefeated in the month of December, backstopping Northeastern to a 4-0-1 record and helping to lift his team into second place in the Hockey East table.<\/p>\n<p>He stopped 135 shots in 302:57 of work, good for the nation\u2019s third-best goals against average (1.19) and sixth-best save percentage (.957).
