Levshunov, a 19-year-old defenseman, has three
goals and 10 assists in 38 games with Rockford. He missed the
start of the season because of a fractured right foot.
“We felt this would be a good opportunity for Arty’s development
to come and get some NHL-level practice experience, something he
was not able to do during training camp this season due to
injury,” Chicago general manager Kyle Davidson said. "While we
don’t expect him to see any game action during his recall, we’re
confident the experience will be a positive one for Arty as he
continues on his development path.”
The IceHogs' next game is Friday night at Texas.
Chicago also placed defenseman Louis Crevier on injured reserve
on Monday. The 23-year-old defenseman, who has three goals and
one assist in 23 games with the Blackhawks, is in concussion
protocol.
Chicago forward Ryan Donato missed practice for what the team
described as a maintenance day. Donato has 15 goals and 15
assists in 50 games, and he could be on the move ahead of the
March 7 trade deadline.
The last-place Blackhawks are 4-12-3 in their last 19 games.
They host Edmonton on Wednesday night.
Levshunov, a Belarus native, had nine goals and 26 assists in
his only season at Michigan State. He was the Big Ten Defensive
Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year.
He signed an entry-level contract with Chicago in July. The
three-year deal carries a $975,000 cap hit.
