Chicago Blackhawks' young center, Frank Nazar, has been struggling this season, scoring only nine goals and 21 assists in 48 games. Nazar had signed a seven-year, $43.16 million extension in August and went through a 21-game stretch without a goal from Oct. 30 to Dec. 16 before returning to form with a goal in Montreal. Despite this, coach Jeff Blashill found positives in Nazar's play, including improved ice vision, puck play and confidence. Despite his struggles, Nazar remains committed to improving his game. He has the 10th-fastest skating speed in the NHL this season at 23.76 mph.
