The Chicago Blackhawks expected Frank Nazar to make it to the AHL All-Star Game coming up in February.
Now, with his promotion to the NHL roster, he's been disqualified from playing in the game. The IceHogs have had to shift priorities, as forward Cole Guttman will take his place instead.
Guttman has played spectacularly in the AHL, scoring 33 points (16 G, 17 A) in 35 games for the Hogs.
This follows a 2023-2024 season, where he scored a career-high 40 points in the AHL.
Guttman's nomination to the All-Star Game is not a surprise as he's been effective at every level of the game.
He's played 41 games in the NHL between the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. Guttman has served as a call-up before.
Will this nomination make him one of the next Blackhawks prospects to be called up, following Frank Nazar?
Either way, Cole Guttman will represent the Blackhawks well in the AHL All-Star Game.
The 2025 AHL All-Star Classic presented by Spotlight 29 Casino will include the AHL All-Star Skills Competition presented by Silvercrest on Sunday, February 2 (9 ET/6 PT), followed by the AHL Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Ceremony presented by Spotlight 29 Casino and Silvercrest on Monday, February 3 (2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT) and the 2025 AHL All-Star Challenge presented by Spotlight 29 Casino that evening (9 ET/6 PT).

You can watch Cole Guttman continue his tear, on February 2nd and 3rd
