Headline: Blackhawks Place Frank Nazar on Injured Reserve, Activate Nick Foligno

CHICAGO, IL – The Chicago Blackhawks announced Sunday that forward Frank Nazar has been placed on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury. The move is retroactive to December 20th, the date of the injury sustained in a game against the Ottawa Senators.

Nazar, 21, has been sidelined since the incident. While the injured reserve placement doesn’t change his expected return timeline, it confirms he will be out for a longer period. Initial estimates projected Nazar would be out of the lineup for approximately a month.

In a corresponding roster move, veteran forward Nick Foligno has been activated from injured reserve.

Nazar has been a significant contributor to the Blackhawks’ offense this season, recording 21 points (goals and assists) in 33 games played. Foligno’s return should provide a boost to the team’s veteran presence and leadership. The Blackhawks hope to have Nazar back in the lineup soon as they navigate the remainder of the season.
