Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Assist in three straight games
Nazar distributed an assist, put four shots on goal and served two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.
Nazar had the secondary helper on Tyler Bertuzzi's opening goal. After missing two games with an abdominal injury, Nazar has been heavily involved since his return with an assist in each of his last three contests. The 21-year-old center has nine assists, 14 points and 40 shots on goal in 18 games this season. He's already 12 points away from tying his 26-point output in 53 games a season ago. Nazar is slated for a career year in Chicago's top six and first power-play unit, giving him viability in nearly all fantasy formats if he can stay healthy.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Picks up helper in return
Nazar logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Nazar missed two games with an abdominal injury, but he returned with 18:54 of ice time in his usual second-line role. The 21-year-old center set up a Teuvo Teravainen goal in the third period, which tied the game at 2-2. Prior to the injury, Nazar was in a five-game point drought. He's up to 12 points, 33 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating over 16 appearances. He's still young, so there will be some ups and downs, but he looks poised to be one of the league's breakout players in 2025-26.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Good to play Saturday
Nazar (abdomen) is expected to play against Toronto on Saturday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.
Nazar missed the Blackhawks' previous two games. He has five goals and 11 points in 15 outings this season. Nazar's return corresponds with Tyler Bertuzzi (undisclosed) exiting the lineup. The 21-year-old Nazar is set to serve on the second line alongside Oliver Moore and Teuvo Teravainen.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Game-time decision Saturday
Nazar (abdomen) will be a game-time decision against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Status uncertain Saturday
Nazar (abdomen) is questionable to face the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Nazar has been trying to work his way back from his two-game absence but may be sidelined for a third. The young center is currently stuck in a five-game pointless streak during which he's recorded 13 shots, seven blocks and one hit while averaging 17:24 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Nazar should be in the mix for a top-six role, which would likely drop Ryan Greene back down the lineup.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Set to miss out Wednesday
Nazar (undisclosed) isn't expected to face the Devils on Wednesday but remains day-to-day, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Prior to getting hurt, Nazar was mired in a five-game pointless streak during which he recorded 13 shots, seven blocks and one hit. Despite the recent slump, the 21-year-old center remains on pace to top his 2024-25 numbers and set new career highs in both goals and assists. In the meantime, Ryan Greene will remain in the second-line center role for the Hawks heading into Wednesday's matchup with New Jersey.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Won't play Sunday
Nazar (undisclosed) won't play Sunday against the Red Wings, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Nazar and Sam Lafferty both took warmups, but the former won't suit up after being injured against the Flames on Friday; Lafferty will play. Despite Nazar's absence from Sunday's game, there is little concern that the injury could lead to a lengthier absence. The Blackhawks won't be in action again until Wednesday, giving Nazar a few days to recover.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Game-time decision
Nazar (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Red Wings, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Nazar was injured during Friday's game against the Flames, but whether he plays in Sunday's matinee against the Red Wings or not, there isn't a ton of concern this could be a lengthy lineup absence. The 21-year-old has 11 points (five goals, six assists) through 15 games so far but none in his last five. Should the young center miss the game Sunday, expect Sam Lafferty to draw into the lineup in his place.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Deemed day-to-day
Nazar (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day and could still play Sunday versus the Red Wings after suffering an injury Friday against the Flames, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
The Blackhawks will wait and see how Nazar's recovery progresses in the next couple of days, but this is a positive update. Nazar's absence looks to be likely minimal, if there is one at all. Should he miss time, Sam Lafferty would likely get into the lineup while Ryan Donato or Nick Foligno could see extra minutes.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Departs Friday's game
Nazar (undisclosed) will not return to Friday's game versus the Flames.
Nazar was injured in the first period after an awkward fall following a hit. The 21-year-old has emerged as a key part of the Blackhawks' top six with 11 points in 15 games, so any potential absence would be a big loss. It's unclear if he'll be ready to play Sunday in Detroit.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Scores, assists Tuesday
Nazar scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Senators.
Nazar participated in the build-up of Connor Bedard's power-play goal in the first period, and he'd also find the back of the net himself late in the third frame. Nazar has four multi-point performances this campaign. The 21-year-old playmaker is enjoying a strong start to the season with 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 10 games.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Scores vs. Anaheim
Nazar scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Ducks.

He's off to a fantastic start this year, earning two goals, four assists, eight shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across five appearances. Nazar appears to be firmly in the second-line center spot, and he offers plenty of two-way upside while on a trajectory for a major breakout in his second full season.

The 21-year-old has come flying out of the gates on the 2025-26 season with five points (one goal, four assists) during a three-game scoring streak. Nazar's seeing a consistent shift on Chicago's top power-play unit as well, although Saturday's PP point was his first of the year. After producing 12 goals and 26 points in 53 games last season, Nazar appears headed for a breakout in his first full NHL campaign.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Inks extension with Chicago
Nazar signed a six-year, $46.1 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Thursday.
Nazar is entering the final year of his entry-level deal, and his extension will begin in the 2026-27 campaign. The 21-year-old made 53 appearances with Chicago last year and racked up 12 goals, 14 assists, 35 blocked shots, 30 hits and 24 PIM while averaging 15:52 of ice time. He should be in the mix for a top-six role once again during the 2025-26 campaign.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Nets OT winner
Nazar scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa.
Nazar found the back of the net for the game-winning goal just 48 seconds into the extra period. Nazar used the feed from Connor Bedard to score his second game-winning goal of the season. Overall, the 21-year-old Nazar is up to 12 goals, 26 points and 91 shots on net in 53 games this season. Nazar took a large step forward offensively down the stretch with 10 points over his last 11 games. His recent stretch of play makes him a strong option to open the season as Chicago's full-time center on the second line. Look for him to be a breakout candidate during the 2025-26 season.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Shines in Monday's win
Nazar scored a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
The 21-year-old also supplied the only successful shootout attempt, a strange tally that saw Nazar nearly lose the puck, get it back and flip a backhand past Sam Montembeault that got lodged in the twine -- only for the official scorer to mistakenly think the shot had sailed over the glass and into the crowd, initially ruling it a miss. Nazar has produced back-to-back multi-point performances as he finishes his first full NHL season with a flourish, and through seven games in April, he's collected four goals and eight points.
