Frank Nazar is Looking Forward to Earning a Blackhawks Roster Spot

“Definitely just the pace of the play, being able to keep up with all those guys for 82 games a year and not just the last three and then just being able to make plays really quickly under pressure and be able to get good at those things, and I think I’d be in a good spot,” Nazar said. “That’s how it’s been my whole life is earning where I got, and it’s just another time where I got to earn my spot on a team and show guys I deserve to be there and just put in all that work, and I know everything’s going to work out.”
