The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled Frank Nazar, their top prospect, from the minor leagues, following the placement of Alec Martinez on injured reserve due to a neck injury. Nazar, who was drafted 13th overall in 2022, has been impressive in the AHL, scoring 11 goals and 13 assists in 21 games.

General manager Kyle Davidson praised Nazar's performance, indicating he has been a bright spot for the team. The Blackhawks, struggling with a 9-18-2 record, prepare for a three-game homestand starting with the New Jersey Devils.
