Crevier scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to Calgary.
Crevier has been in the lineup for eight straight games, and this was his first point since his goal Nov. 27 versus the Stars. The 23-year-old has been over the 20-minute mark in the last two games, even with Alec Martinez back in the fold after a following a month-long absence. Crevier has just two goals with 17 shots on net, 24 hits and 26 blocked shots through 15 appearances this season, but it looks like his development has taken a step forward. That will put pressure on players like Wyatt Kaiser, Nolan Allan and T.J. Brodie to elevate their play at the risk of being scratched.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Seeing limited playing time
Rotowire
Crevier has played in four of the Blackhawks' 12 games in December.
Crevier has been with the big club since mid-November, but he hasn't been able to carve out more than a part-time role. The 23-year-old has picked up a goal, six shots on net, 14 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through seven appearances this season. He could be sent back to AHL Rockford once Alec Martinez (neck) returns to action.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Scores first NHL goal
Rotowire
Crevier scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Stars.
Crevier has played in back-to-back games, though he'll still have to compete with Nolan Allan and Wyatt Kaiser for two spots in the lineup. The goal was the first of Crevier's career. The 23-year-old is likely to fill a third-pairing role when he plays, so he'll have minimal upside in fantasy.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Grabs one-year deal
Rotowire
Crevier signed a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Monday.
Crevier made his NHL debut last season, logging 24 games for the Hawks in which he generated three assists, 18 shots and 30 hits while averaging 15:41 of ice time. With the additions of T.J. Brodie and Alec Martinez in the offseason -- not to mention the club drafting Artyom Levshunov No. 2 overall in the 2024 NHL Draft -- there is a significant logjam on the blue line in Chicago, which could see Crevier spending the bulk of his time in the minors.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Returns from injury
Rotowire
Crevier had four hits and a blocked shot in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
After missing the last two games with a mouth injury, Crevier returned to his regular spot on the right side of the third defensive pairing. The 22-year old rookie and defensive partner Jarred Tinordi helped keep the Red Wings to two goals in regulation. Crevier finished with a blocked shot, four hits and an even rating in 15:42 of ice time. The 6-foot-8 defenseman is a physical presence, but Crevier has only three points in 21 games this season.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Back with big club
Rotowire
Crevier was promoted from AHL Rockford on Wednesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Nikita Zaitsev (knee) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move, so Crevier could be in for an extended stay with the Blackhawks. The 22-year-old rookie has picked up three helpers while averaging 16:09 of ice time through 13 top-level appearances this year.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Returning to AHL
Rotowire
Crevier will be sent back to the minors Tuesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Crevier's demotion will open up a spot on the 23-man roster for both Taylor Raddysh (groin) and Joey Anderson (shoulder) to be activated off injured reserve. With Isaak Phillips seemingly ahead of him on the team's depth chart, the 22-year-old Crevier figures to be a long shot to return to Chicago any time soon, especially once Seth Jones (shoulder) is cleared to play.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Posts first assist in win
Rotowire
Crevier notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.
Crevier earned his first NHL point by setting up Alex Vlasic's first-period marker, which stood as the game-winner. This was Crevier's third big-league appearance of the season. The 22-year-old has added three blocked shots, two hits, one shot on goal and a plus-1 rating while seeing bottom-four usage. He could stay in the lineup at least until one of Jarred Tinordi (concussion) or Kevin Korchinski (personal) are ready to return.
