Levshunov scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov has been pretty good since he got scratched Dec. 16 versus Toronto for being late to practice. Over seven games since then, he's racked up a goal and four helpers, with two of those five points coming on the power play. The defenseman is up to two goals, 19 points, 47 shots on net, 24 PIM, 38 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating across 38 appearances this season. Levshunov is firmly in a top-four role and quarterbacks the top power-play unit, and he's been steady even while Connor Bedard (upper body) and Frank Nazar (upper body) have been unavailable.

Levshunov (coach's decision) will return to the lineup in Montreal on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov was late to practice Monday, and head coach Jeff Blashill decided to discipline the defenseman by sitting him out against Toronto on Tuesday. The second pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, Levshunov has one goal, 13 assists, 30 hits, 32 blocked shots and eight assists on the power play in 2025-26.

Levshunov will not be in action versus Toronto on Tuesday after showing up late to practice Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov's absence will see Ethan Del Mastro link up with Connor Murphy on the Hawks' third pairing while Wyatt Kaiser steps into a power-play role. In his last nine appearances, the 20-year-old Levshunov failed to find the back of the net while chipping in two assists, 12 shots and 10 blocks.

Levshunov scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
In his 40th career game, Levshunov was finally able to find the twine for the first time. His goal gave the Blackhawks a 3-2 lead in the third period. The 20-year-old blueliner has showed plenty of potential with 12 points, 26 shots on net, 23 hits, 22 blocked shots, 14 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 22 outings this season. Levshunov's spot on the top power-play unit has helped him earn six helpers with the man advantage, and it's that role that should give him decent fantasy value this year.

Levshunov had a power-play assist, put two shots on goal and dished out two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov picked up the secondary helper on Teuvo Teravainen's power-play goal midway through the second period. With the helper, the 20-year-old Levshunov has 11 assists, 21 shots on net, 22 hits and 16 blocks through 19 games this season. While he's still on the hunt for his first career goal, the No. 2 overall selection from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft has been an exceptional playmaker this season. Nine of his 11 helpers have been in his last 11 games, proving that his role with the Blackhawks is trending upwards. Look for the young blueliner to lead Chicago's defensemen in assists this season while playing a solid role on the power play. Levshunov is a top waiver-wire target in deep leagues and is developing the category coverage and offensive resume needed to be rostered in standard formats.

Levshunov recorded two power-play assists, blocked two shots and had two hits in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov recorded the second multi-point game of his young career Sunday, helping out on power-play goals scored by Connor Bedard and Tyler Bertuzzi. Overall, the 20-year-old Levshunov has nine assists, 12 shots on goal, 16 hits and 11 blocks across 15 games this season. The No. 2 overall selection from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft is beginning to carve out a role on Chicago's blue line with his ice time trending upward over the last four games. Seven of his nine helpers have come in his last seven outings, which should help him maintain a top-four role. Levshunov is one of the top fantasy stashes in all formats and has the chance to be the top offensive contributor on Chicago's blue line this season.

Levshunov notched a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov was bumped up to the top power-play unit during the game, and it paid off when he helped out on Tyler Bertuzzi's second goal. The 20-year-old Levshunov has four helpers over his last five games. The Blackhawks' tendency to dress seven defensemen allows them to give Levshunov sheltered minutes, but it could also lead to dramatic shifts in ice time if his defensive play slips. He has six helpers (two on the power play), 12 shots on net, 13 hits, nine blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 13 appearances.

Levshunov got his first point of the 2025-26 campaign, an assist, in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Levshunov made Chicago's roster out of training camp and has gotten into each of the Blackhawks' first two games. While it's still early, there's reason to believe the 19-year-old will be a regular with the Blackhawks throughout the year. After being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, he had five goals, 22 points and 59 PIM across 52 regular-season appearances with AHL Rockford as well as six assists in 18 outings with Chicago during the 2024-25 campaign. Levshunov has tons of offensive upside, so he's worth keeping a close eye on.

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.
