CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks have activated defenseman Artyom Levshunov and assigned the No. 2 overall pick in this year's NHL draft to the minors. The 18-year-old Levshunov hurt his right foot when he blocked a shot during an offseason 3-on-3 tournament. His foot continued to bother him during his training, so he had an MRI that revealed a fracture. Levshunov participated in Chicago's morning skate before he was sent to Rockford of the AHL.
