Artyom Levshunov - Not playing against Leafs Levshunov will not be in action versus Toronto on Tuesday after showing up late to practice Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Levshunov's absence will see Ethan Del Mastro link up with Connor Murphy on the Hawks' third pairing while Wyatt Kaiser steps into a power-play role. In his last nine appearances, the 20-year-old Levshunov failed to find the back of the net while chipping in two assists, 12 shots and 10 blocks.

Connor Bedard injury update: Latest news, timeline on Blackhawks star Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard will be out for some time with an upper-body injury. Here is the latest and timeline:

3 DAYS AGO • USATODAY.COM

Laurent Brossoit - Set to land on waivers Brossoit will be placed on waivers Monday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Brossoit rejoined the Blackhawks on Monday following a conditioning stint with AHL Rockford, but head coach Jeff Blashill said that the netminder will be sent back to the minors if he clears waivers. Brossoit hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign, but if he remains in the organization, he'll presumably be the first option to be called up if Chicago needs an additional goaltender.

Nick Foligno - Joining road trip Foligno (hand) will travel with the Hawks for their three-game road trip and could return against Montreal or Ottawa on Thursday or Saturday, respectively, Ben Pope of the Chicago...

Impact While Foligno won't be in action for Tuesday's matchup with Toronto, he is trending in the right direction and should be back in the lineup before the Hawks return to Chicago. Prior to getting hurt, the Buffalo native was stuck in a season-long goal drought, failing to score in 15 appearances. At this point, Foligno could be in danger of missing the 15-goal mark for the first time since 2022-23.

Connor Bedard - Out until January Bedard (upper body) won't need surgery but will be sidelined until the calendar flips to 2026, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Monday.

Impact Bedard was already placed on injured reserve, so his timeline shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Given his potential return date, the 20-year-old center should still be in the mix for a spot on Canada's Olympic roster in February. While Bedard is on the shelf, Frank Nazar figures to take on the first-line center role, though Jason Dickinson could also be in the mix.

Connor Bedard - Moves on IR Bedard (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Bedard sat out Saturday's 4-0 loss to Detroit after suffering what appeared to be a shoulder injury near the end of Friday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis. He didn't accompany the Blackhawks for the team's upcoming road trip, which begins against Toronto on Tuesday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. The 20-year-old forward has amassed 19 goals, 44 points and 103 shots on net in 31 appearances this season.

Ethan Del Mastro - Promoted from minors Del Mastro was called up from AHL Rockford on Monday.

Impact Del Mastro has appeared in one NHL game this season in which he logged 17:35 of ice time while recording six hits, two blocks and one shot. Even with his promotion from the minors, Del Mastro is far from a lock to suit up versus the Maple Leafs on Tuesday and is more likely to serve as an emergency depth option for the club's three-game road trip.

Laurent Brossoit - Returns from conditioning stint Brossoit (hip) rejoined the Blackhawks on Monday following his conditioning stint with AHL Rockford, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Impact Brossoit made three appearances for the IceHogs, in which he went 2-1-0 with a .900 save percentage -- though it will be the goalie goal that stands out the most from his time in the minors. At this point, when Brossoit might get into the crease for the Hawks remains to be seen, but he should eventually break into the rotation with Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom now that his hip problem is behind him.
