Artyom Levshunov

19-Year-Old DefensemanD
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chosen with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, Chicago naturally has big hopes for Levshunov, but will he jump immediately into the top league? At the very least, Levshunov has decided to give it a shot after signing an entry-level contract with Chicago over the summer, ending his tenure with Michigan State University following a freshman campaign in which he recorded nine goals, 35 points and 44 PIM in 38 contests. Even at the age of 18, Levshunov wouldn't look out of place in the NHL given his size and strength. His skill level at both ends of the ice also provides plenty of cause for excitement. Still, Chicago might opt to be careful with his development by having him start in the AHL, especially because the Blackhawks already have a reasonably functional defensive corps going into the campaign. It would not be surprising, though, to see him make his NHL debut this season, even if he doesn't make the squad out of training camp. In the long run, he's got the potential to be a high-end No. 1 defenseman who features heavily on the power play. Read Past Outlooks

First career multi-point effort

March 27, 2025
Levshunov picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
ANALYSIS
The teenage blueliner continues to flash the skills that made him the second overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Levshunov has four points, all helpers, through his first eight NHL games, while chipping in 10 shots on net and 11 blocked shots. His minus-11 rating is a bit gruesome, but it's to be expected for a young player seeing significant ice time with the team that sports the second-worst record in the NHL -- Levshunov played a team-high 24:04 in Wednesday's loss, his largest workload so far for Chicago.
