21-Year-Old CenterC
Chicago Blackhawks
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.

Nets OT winner

April 16, 2025
Nazar scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa.
ANALYSIS
Nazar found the back of the net for the game-winning goal just 48 seconds into the extra period. Nazar used the feed from Connor Bedard to score his second game-winning goal of the season. Overall, the 21-year-old Nazar is up to 12 goals, 26 points and 91 shots on net in 53 games this season. Nazar took a large step forward offensively down the stretch with 10 points over his last 11 games. His recent stretch of play makes him a strong option to open the season as Chicago's full-time center on the second line. Look for him to be a breakout candidate during the 2025-26 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
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.
