Artyom Levshunov's start to NHL career takes major turn for the worse

Blackhawks' Top Prospect Levshunov Hurt Right Before NHL Camp

The Chicago Blackhawks got some bad news just days before their prospect camp. Artyom Levshunov, the team's second overall pick in this year's NHL Draft, got hurt during practice.

According to Elliotte Friedman, Levshunov will be in a walking boot and out for a few weeks.

Early reports say the injury could be serious, like a broken foot, which might keep him out for a while, but nothing is confirmed yet.

This is tough for both the Blackhawks and Levshunov, who was about to start his NHL career.

Seen as a big part of the team's future, he was expected to make an impact as the Blackhawks rebuild.

Now, instead of showing his skills at camp, Levshunov will focus on getting healthy. This news puts a damper on what was supposed to be an exciting time for the Blackhawks and their fans.
