Let’s start our weekend with some prospect notes and comments from around the Blackhawks universe this week. There’s a lot going on all over the world with Blackhawks prospects right now while the Olympics keep the NHL club away from practices until Feb. 18.
A lot of information from Scott Powers, who posted two mailbag pieces this week — highly recommend Part I and Part II. A few prospect nuggets from the pieces:
It all depends on how far Djurgårdens and Frondell go in the SHL playoffs. It looks like Djurgårdens will finish somewhere between seventh and 10th in the standings. That will put it in a best-of-three playoff series for the opening round. The SHL regular season ends on March 13, and those best-of-three series will likely start a few days later. At the earliest, Frondell could be available to the Blackhawks around the third week of March. If Djurgårdens advances a round into the quarterfinals, that series is a best-of-seven, so that would push his arrival back closer to April. If Djurgårdens advances to the semifinals or final, it’s less likely Frondell plays for the Blackhawks this season.
On Roman Kantserov:With 29 goals and 53 points in 49 games, Kantserov might be the playmaker Bedard needs on his wing. Kantserov’s vision and passing are elite. He may not be big, but he has a strong build and doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s taken on major minutes as a center against older veterans in Russia. The goal scoring does help. He doesn’t need quantity. He understands how to get quality and has scored a lot of goals around the net this season. We’ll see how he adapts, but Bedard and Kantserov with one of the larger wings, maybe Frondell or Boisvert, could make sense in time.
[Note: after Powers’ piece published, Kantserov scored his KHL-leading 30th goal of the season.]
On Drew Commesso:The Blackhawks are in no rush with Commesso. … The Blackhawks want Commesso to play as many games as possible and allow him to further develop. He’s still just 23. Rockford gives him more reps at this point. There are also still ups and downs to his game.
Marco D’Amico at RG Media wrote a nice story about Providence forward and Montreal Canadiens prospect Logan Sawyer. In it, Blackhawks prospect John Mustard comes up — and Sawyer has some very nice things to say about the Hawks’ forward prospect, who happens to also be his roommate. I like these two quote from Sawyer about how Mustard is able to drive offense for Providence:“He’s so fast,” Sawyer said. “So it’s pretty easy to just dish him the puck and let him buzz down the wing and try to get open.” …
“It really helps when you have a guy that sees the ice so well, he makes things easier for us on the ice,” added Sawyer.
Chris Jones-Imagn Images Nice read here from Kalen Lumpkins for the Chicago Tribune after spending some time in Rockford for the AHL All-Star Classic this week on Nick Lardis and Kevin Korchinski working their way back to the NHL. Good perspective from both young players.“I think just implementing hard skill in a way, using my strengths, which is my shot, skill and speed,” Lardis said. “At the same time, teams are so good up there, physically and structured, and all their systems are really good.
“It’s just making sure that you’re playing with a lot of hard skill, and being a good two-way player is huge.”
Nick Lardis and Kevin Korchinski both had their brief stints with the Chicago Blackhawks this season. When that next recall comes for the two, they want it to be permanent. “You want to stay up there as long as you can,” t.co/g81NQ3J0OY
— Kalen Lumpkins (@kalenalumpkins) February 13, 2026 Honza Zoufal, who covers Central Europe for Elite Prospects, dropped his February stock watch for prospects on Friday morning, and Blackhawks forward prospect Jiří Felcman is mentioned as one guy whose stock is rising. Felcman, 20, was a third-round pick (No. 93 overall) by the Blackhawks in the 2023 NHL Draft and is currently playing in Switzerland. Here’s what Zoufal wrote about him:Jiří Felcman had a great month, securing a spot as a top-six centre for the first time in his career, and it immediately showed in his point production. He’s become more consistent, doubling his point total with nine points over the past month. For context, he had nine points all of last season.
Since my last viewings, he’s made noticeable progress in his skating and mechanics, looking more mobile and adding speed. Combined with his physicality, he’s winning battles and using his long reach to make life difficult for puck carriers. He’s also added more puck-handling and one-on-one creativity, getting himself into scoring areas. His passing and vision still shine on the power play.
