Levshunov was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov saw action in 18 games for the Blackhawks this year, generating six assists, 21 shots and 19 hits -- though he failed to find the back of the net. Barring a disappointing training camp this fall, the 19-year-old Belarus native should be in contention for a spot on the Opening Night roster heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

Levshunov notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 19-year-old defenseman, one of the Blackhawks' top prospects, has gotten shuffled down the lineup a bit with the arrival of Sam Rinzel. Levshunov and Rinzel could end up competing for first-pairing minutes in 2025-26, though they could be risky options in redraft leagues if the Blackhawks' roster doesn't make significant improvements. Through 16 appearances, Levshunov has six assists, 21 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 13 hits and a minus-15 rating. He is eligible to participate in AHL Rockford's playoff run.

Levshunov picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The teenage blueliner continues to flash the skills that made him the second overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Levshunov has four points, all helpers, through his first eight NHL games, while chipping in 10 shots on net and 11 blocked shots. His minus-11 rating is a bit gruesome, but it's to be expected for a young player seeing significant ice time with the team that sports the second-worst record in the NHL -- Levshunov played a team-high 24:04 in Wednesday's loss, his largest workload so far for Chicago.

Levshunov notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The Blackhawks' opening goal was a glimpse into the future, as Levshunov set up Connor Bedard for the tally. That's the No. 1 defenseman and No. 1 center for the rest of the decade connecting on a goal. So far, Levshunov has been up to the challenge in the NHL with two points, six shots on net and eight blocked shots, but he also has a minus-7 rating over four contests. That's the price he'll have to pay until the Blackhawks' young core gets into their collective prime years.

Levshunov notched an assist, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
It took Levshunov just three games to get on the scoresheet for the first time -- he set up a Wyatt Kaiser tally for his first career assist. Levshunov is already handling top-four minutes for the Blackhawks, and he's also getting power-play time. There will be growing pains for the 19-year-old, as he's already taken a minus-5 rating, but he's added seven blocked shots and six shots on net through three outings, so the skills that made him the second overall pick in 2024 are evident right from the start.

Levshunov was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov has five goals, 22 points and 59 PIM in 50 minor-league appearances this season. He hasn't made his NHL debut yet, but his recall to the Blackhawks could change that.

Levshunov was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov was only up with the big club to practice during the AHL's All-Star break. With Rockford getting ready to resume its season Friday, Levshunov will rejoin the minor-league team and continue his development. It's possible the 19-year-old makes his NHL debut later in the campaign.

Levshunov was elevated from AHL Rockford on Monday but is not expected to make his NHL debut, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to general manager Kyle Davidson, Levshunov's recall is intended to get him some NHL-level practice work while the AHL breaks for its All-Star game. The young blueliner will serve as an emergency depth option after Louis Crevier (concussion) was designated for IR but remains firmly behind Nolan Allan and Ethan Del Mastro for ice time.

Levshunov (foot) was activated from the injured non-roster list and assigned to AHL Rockford on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov will make his AHL debut after recovering from a foot injury he sustained in September. Chicago selected him No. 2 overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old blueliner may get a look with the Blackhawks sometime during the 2024-25 campaign.
