Frank Nazar

20-Year-Old CenterC
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Blackhawks fans have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future beyond just the likes of Connor Bedard and Artyom Levshunov. Their prospect pool is far deeper than that, and Nazar is a great example. Selected with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, the Detroit native scored 17 goals and 41 points in 41 contests with the University of Michigan as a sophomore last season. Afterward, he joined the Blackhawks for a three-game stint in which he provided one goal. Nazar isn't likely to become a star, but he does have top-six potential. It's worth keeping an eye on him during training camp, but even if he doesn't make the Blackhawks' initial roster, Nazar will probably be summoned at some point during the 2024-25 campaign.

Picks up first assist of 2024-25

December 23, 2024
Nazar notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Wild.
ANALYSIS
The helper was Nazar's first career assist and first point in 2024-25. He's added five shots on net, four blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through six appearances at the NHL level. Nazar is one of the Blackhawks' top prospects and is getting a look in the NHL for now, though there's no telling if he'll finish the campaign with the big club.

Looking to avoid AHL
CChicago Blackhawks
September 12, 2024
Nazar is targeting a roster spot with the Blackhawks on Opening Night against Utah on Oct. 8, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Nazar told reporters he specifically focused on his conditioning this offseason to help with the grind of an 82-game NHL campaign. In his brief stint with the Hawks last year, the 20-year-old center recorded one goal, two shots and one block while averaging 16:09 of ice time in three appearances. Veteran Ryan Donato will need to stave off Nazar during training camp with the duo likely competing for the fourth-line center role.
