The Blackhawks have recalled defenseman Artyom Levshunov from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League.
Levshunov was selected second overall in the NHL draft in June, just after the San Jose Sharks chose Macklin Celebrini with the No. 1 pick.
Levshunov, 19, has appeared in 50 games with the IceHogs during the 2024-25 campaign, sharing first among club defensemen with 22 points (5G, 17A). His five goals and 17 assists each rank second among team blueliners. Levshunov leads all league rookies and ranks second on the club with 137 shots on goal this season.
Levshunov could make his NHL debut Monday night when the Blackhawks play the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena in Denver.
