The Chicago Blackhawks have hit the ground running with top prospect, Frank Nazar.
Jason Dickinson and Joey Anderson have been some of the Blackhawk's top even-strength players and have a strong two-way game.
So it makes sense that Head Coach Luke Richardson would want to place rookie Frank Nazar between some of the best two-way forwards to learn from.
The Blackhawks will infuse new blood into the lineup against the Carolina Hurricanes who're playoff bound, with a 51-22-7 record.
The Blackhawks are giving plenty of young players a look at the end of the season, with a 23-51-5 record, with high hopes for next season.
Colin Blackwell will be a healthy scratch, as the recently turned-pro, Nazar will play his 1st NHL game at the United Center.
Frank Nazar was selected 13th overall in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, his ELC was signed recently, with a $950K AAV salary cap hit.
