Chicago Blackhawks prospects invited to prestigious rookie showcase

Levshunov, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, and Nazar, a 2022 first-round pick, will participate in the event that allows Upper Deck to capture photos and videos for rookie trading cards.

While fans are eager to see both players debut in the NHL, Levshunov and Nazar are likely to begin the season with the Rockford IceHogs, the Blackhawks' AHL affiliate. Levshunov, coming from Michigan State, will need time to adjust his game before facing NHL stars like Connor McDavid, while Nazar could use further development to solidify his role as the team's future second-line center.

Both players bring excitement to Chicago's future, with Levshunov considered the Blackhawks' top prospect and poised to become a key defensive player, potentially following in Duncan Keith's footsteps. Their showcase invitation is just the start of what fans hope will be long, successful careers.
