Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Two points in preseason finale
Nazar scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 preseason win over the Blues.
Nazar played in the preseason finale alongside most of his AHL Rockford teammates, though it was impressive that he stood out in this contest. The 20-year-old was cut from camp earlier in the week but has some of the highest potential among Blackhawks prospects. It would not be surprising to see him earn a call-up in 2024-25, and he's got the skills to stick in the NHL if everything goes right.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Assigned to AHL
Nazar was assigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Nazar made his NHL debut late in the 2023-24 campaign and tallied one goal over three regular-season appearances. While it appears likely that he'll begin the 2024-25 regular season in the AHL, the 2022 first-round pick is a strong candidate to rejoin the NHL club at some point this year.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Scores in NHL debut
Nazar scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
The highly touted prospect made his NHL debut Sunday, logging 15:55 of ice time. Nazar was drafted 13th overall in 2022 and is likely to get playing time in the Blackhawks' last two games of the season as well. In the long run, he's likely to center the second line, but he'll be eased into action for at least the rest of this season.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Debuting Sunday
Nazar will make his NHL debut Sunday against Carolina, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Nazar signed his entry-level deal Saturday after two seasons at the University of Michigan. He tallied 19 goals and 48 points over 54 appearances. Nazar was the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old is a key part of Chicago's youth movement and, for now, will likely slot in as a middle-six center.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Agrees to three-year deal
Nazar signed a three-year, entry-level contract Saturday. His deal will begin with the 2023-24 campaign.
Nazar had 17 goals and 41 points in 41 NCAA outings with the University of Michigan in 2023-24. Chicago took him with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. Nazar is expected to join the Blackhawks before Sunday's game against Carolina, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, so he should get some NHL experience before the summer. Look for the 20-year-old to serve in a middle-six capacity, though it is possible that they'll experiment with having Nazar and Connor Bedard share the ice.
