Artyom Levshunov Fantasy Stats

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Artyom Levshunov will be scratched for Tuesday's contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs after he was late for Monday's practice. His absence will leave a big hole on Chicago's blue line, as Levshunov's role within the team has grown throughout the season. He has become the Blackhawks' highest scoring defenseman with 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 31 games and has averaged nearly 20 minutes of ice time this month. Levshunov ranks in the top five on the team for both blocks (32) and hits (30). Ethan Del Mastro, who was recalled from the AHL, will replace Levshunov in the lineup, while Wyatt Kaiser will join the second power-play unit.
