The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled defenseman and 2nd overall pick in 2024 Artyom Levshunovfrom the Rockford IceHogs.

The Chicago Blackhawks require reinforcements today, as they have recalled Artyom Levshunov from their AHL affiliate.
The 2nd overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft has found his way back up the depth chart once again, as Artyom Levshunov gets another look in the NHL.
Levshunov was last recalled to the big club in February but wouldn't see any ice time despite the call-up.
An injury that required right-shot defenseman Louis Crevier to be placed on injured reserve back on February 1st, resulted in his recall from Rockford the last time.
Per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times:
We don't have the full story on the reason for Levshunov's summons to the United Center, but soon enough we hope we will.
Levshunov has gotten a chance to develop his game in the AHL this season as he's played 50 games in the AHL.
He's tallied 17 points (5 G, 12 A) during that time frame and suffered an unfortunate injury that kept him out of the lineup at the beginning of the year.
The 18-year-old said he sustained a fracture in his right foot blocking a shot during a 3-on-3 tournament during the offseason but thought everything was fine and continued training.
Now, the defenseman could find himself in the regular lineup should a key piece on the blue line be absent the next game or two.

Our best guess for the call-up for now.

But nothing has been confirmed injury-wise after last night's loss to the Nashville Predators in overtime.

Levshunov's contract $975K contract expires after the 2027 season where he'll be an RFA.
