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.

Buries goal Wednesday
CChicago Blackhawks
March 27, 2025
Nazar scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
ANALYSIS
Nazar snapped a five-game point drought with the tally. The 21-year-old saw a season-high 21:10 of ice time while centering the first line in Wednesday's contest. He's up to seven goals, 17 points, 66 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 43 appearances. Nazar has talent, but even with a big role with the Blackhawks, he is still risky in redraft formats for the rest of the campaign.

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.
