Playing career

A skillful winger with great skating ability, Donovan was drafted by the San Jose Sharks 27th overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft and played his first full season in 1995–96. He spent four seasons with the Sharks before being traded to the Colorado Avalanche where he spent three seasons, contributing 13 goals and 19 assists before being traded to the Atlanta Thrashers in 1999.

He was claimed on waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2002, then traded to the Calgary Flames in 2002, where he had a breakout season in 2003–04, scoring 18 goals in the regular season, and was part of the playoff run which saw the Flames defeat the Vancouver Canucks, Detroit Red Wings, and San Jose Sharks before falling to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a single goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Donovan played for Genève-Servette HC in the Swiss Nationalliga A during the 2004–05 lockout, and returned to the Flames for the 2005–06 season. Donovan was signed that off-season by the Bruins.

During the next off season of 2006–07, on July 17, 2007, Donovan was traded to the Ottawa Senators for second-liner Peter Schaefer going to the Bruins.
