Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy had just spent some time with Ryan Donato before and during the rookie's first NHL morning skate Monday, and the bench boss was being asked about how Donato's experiences at the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea could help the player in his debut at the sport's highest level.
