DENVER (AP) — Artyom Levshunov was recalled by
Chicago on Sunday, putting the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s
NHL draft on the brink of his Blackhawks debut.
Levshunov, a 19-year-old defenseman, has five goals and 17
assists in 50 games with Rockford of the American Hockey League.
He missed the start of the season because of a fractured right
foot.
The last-place Blackhawks are at Colorado on Monday night. They
visit San Jose on Thursday night before closing out a four-game
trip at Vancouver on Saturday 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.
