With another season void of playoff hopefulness coming to an end, the Blackhawks have announced that Levshunov will miss the remainder of the season. The 20-year-old rookie ends the 2025-26 season averaging 19:35 time-on-ice and scoring 24 points (2G / 22A) through 68 games.
Levshunov will take a seat on Friday in favour of the recently recalled Sam Rinzel. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said they will start Levshunov on a program to reset some "foundational" aspects to his game, and he may not play again prior to the Olympic break.

He has 14 points (1G / 13A) in 31 games this season, but has only one assist in his last seven games
