Nazar (upper body) has been placed on injured reserve by the Blackhawks, the team announced Sunday.
Nazar has been out since Dec. 20 after suffering an injury in a game against the Senators. The 21-year-old's placement on injured reserve is retroactive to Dec. 20 and has no effect on his timeline for a return, which is expected to take about a month. Nick Foligno was activated from injured reserve in a subsequent move. Nazar has 21 points in 33 games this year.
