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.

Collects two points in win

February 7, 2025
Nazar scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Predators.
ANALYSIS
Nazar opened the scoring at 8:37 of the first period and also helped out on a Ryan Donato tally in the second. This performance ended a four-game point drought for Nazar, who continues to play in a top-six role and on the power play. The 21-year-old center is at four goals, 10 points, 36 shots, 18 hits and a minus-3 rating over 25 outings, which means this will officially count as his rookie year. Nazar will need to continue to play fairly well -- Colton Dach was shipped to AHL Rockford when his performance started to slip, so the Blackhawks have proven they won't keep prospects in the NHL if it doesn't benefit their development.

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.
