Tuesday's episode begins with 20-year-old defenseman Artyom Levshunov's 2025-26 season recap. Host Jack Bushman breaks down Levshunov's stats, analytics, strengths, and weaknesses from his first full NHL season, discusses what must happen next with his development, and goes over his current projection before handing out an official grade. Then, Bushman gets into the latest updates from the 2026 IIHF World Championship in Switzerland, where seven members of the Blackhawks are participating in the tournament. The episode concludes with the Conference Finals being set in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with only four teams remaining. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks.
