A latest announcement by NHL.com will surely please many Chicago Blackhawks fans, as Frank Nazar's projected to have a breakout season.
Not only did 21-year-old forward Frank Nazar sign a $46M extension with the Blackhawks this summer, but he also spilled his true feelings for the city of Chicago as he prepares to dominate next season.

Frank Nazar named as breakout candidate by NHL.com for 2025-26 season
Blackhawks fans are about to watch a mean streak of their '3 headed monster' forwards of Connor Bedard, Frank Nazar, and Ryan Donato, who's coming off of a career-high 31-goal season.
"Nazar, who played his first three NHL games in 2023-24 after he had 41 points (17 goals, 24 assists) in 41 games playing for University of Michigan, had 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists) in 53 games with the Blackhawks last season. The rookie finished strong with nine points (five goals, four assists) and 17:17 per game in his final eight games. The 21-year-old, who could center the second line in Chicago this season, had three of his four power-play points over his final three games last season after being promoted to the first power-play unit."
Not only did Nazar excel at the NHL level, but also the international.
At the 2025 IIHF World Championship, alongside the most prominent names in the league, Nazar led the entire roster in total points, which ultimately resulted in a gold medal.
"Nazar led the United States with 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 10 games at the 2025 IIHF World Championship to help capture their first gold medal at the tournament since 1933. Per NHL EDGE stats, the No. 13 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft ranked in the 95th percentile among forwards in 22-plus mile per hour speed bursts (16) and 86th percentile in top skating speed (23.07 mph) last season."
