No. 2 draft pick and rising Chicago Blackhawks star Artyom Levshunov is out for the entire preseason due to a foot injury. While it's definitely a bummer, it sounds like he's handling it with a great attitude. His new coach Luke Richardson already loves his attitude. <q> I see him in the gym every day with a smile on his face. He's a fun guy and loves being around. He's itching to get back out there, but we're going to make sure he takes the time he needs to fully heal. </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/byscottpowers/status/1837120232759886182'> </a></blockquote></div> Even though the Blackhawks aren't worried about his long-term health, they're being cautious with Levshunov. There's no need to rush, especially with the promising career ahead of him. He'll have a shot to make an immediate impact this season as a teammate of Connor Bedard, last year's No. 1 overall pick, who's already shown he's the real deal after leading all NHL rookies with 61 points last season en route to winning the Calder Trophy. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dailyfaceoff/status/1836493394488803771'> </a></blockquote></div> Now, while expecting Levshunov to have a Calder-worthy season himself is unrealistic, there's a lot of excitement about what he brings to the table. At 6-foot-2, 208 pounds, he's already built for the NHL and his game is mature beyond his years. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/hockey_robinson/status/1733302898568954152'> </a></blockquote></div> He dominated as a freshman at Michigan State, putting up 35 points in 38 games and racking up awards like Big Ten Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/hockeyagent1/status/1809722489729110242'> </a></blockquote></div> Levshunov spent the summer prepping in North America, working out in Chicago and with pros in Florida, and was gearing up for a strong rookie campaign before the injury hit. He signed his three-year, entry-level contract in July and will be ready to get started alongside Bedard once he's back to 100%. For now, Blackhawks fans just have to wait a little longer to see him on the ice.
