Crevier logged two assists and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.
Crevier logged his second multi-point effort of the season, helping out on goals by Landon Slaggert and Sam Lafferty in the third period. The 24-year-old Crevier had been the Blackhawks' nominal seventh defenseman in recent weeks, but he was listed on the top pairing Wednesday, with Sam Rinzel slipping into a smaller role. Crevier has contributed two goals, six assists, 16 shots on net, 24 hits, 10 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 16 appearances. If he can chip in decent offense, he'll have appeal in deep fantasy formats as long as his ice time stays up.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: One of each in big win
Rotowire
Crevier scored a goal, added an assist and doled out three hits in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Senators.
Crevier earned both points in the first period, setting up Colton Dach on the opening goal before putting the Blackhawks ahead 2-0 with a tally of his own. As long as the Blackhawks continue to use seven defensemen regularly, Crevier should have no trouble staying in the lineup. The 24-year-old blueliner is up to four points, nine shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-4 rating through nine appearances.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Tallies in overtime loss
Rotowire
Crevier scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Crevier dressed as a seventh defenseman, bumping Sam Lafferty out of the lineup Thursday. While Crevier was limited to 8:22 of ice time, he gave the Blackhawks their only lead, a 2-1 advantage, at 2:22 of the second period. The 24-year-old blueliner may not be a regular in the lineup, but he appears to have won the job for seventh defenseman after Ethan Del Mastro was sent to AHL Rockford on Friday ahead of the start of the minor-league season. Crevier could provide a steadier defensive option on the right side should Artyom Levshunov's work in his own zone fail to meet standard.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Re-ups with club
Rotowire
Crevier signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract with Chicago on Thursday.
Crevier split his time between the NHL and AHL last year, making 32 appearances for the Hawks while also logging 15 games with the IceHogs. Given the one-way nature of his new deal, Crevier will likely spend less time in the minors during the 2025-26 campaign but figures to remain a fringe lineup player and will likely serve as a healthy scratch more often than not.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Struggling for playing time
Rotowire
Crevier has played in just eight of 19 games since the start of March after suiting up in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.
Crevier was not papered down to the AHL at the trade deadline, so he is ineligible for Rockford's playoff roster. The 23-year-old also isn't carving out much ice time in the NHL -- his appearance Thursday ended a run of six games as a healthy scratch, but it only happened because Connor Murphy (illness) and Wyatt Kaiser (illness) were out. Crevier has had some positive moments in 2024-25, but he has just four points, 28 shots on net, 68 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 31 appearances. The Blackhawks have a good crop of young defenseman, and it's unclear where Crevier might fit in for 2025-26.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Crevier was promoted from AHL Rockford on Monday.
Crevier was promoted after Philipp Kurashev (hand) was designated for injured reserve in a corresponding move. Following the departure of Seth Jones via trade, Chicago will have some minutes available on the blue line, though Crevier will need to edge out the likes of Ethan Del Mastro and Wyatt Kaiser for opportunities. He may benefit from being one of two right-shot blueliners among the seven defensemen on the NHL roster.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Available for Saturday
Rotowire
Interim head coach Anders Sorensen expects Crevier (concussion) to be activated off injured reserve and play Saturday versus Columbus, CHGO Blackhawks reports Wednesday.
Crevier hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 1. He has three goals, four points, 47 hits and 34 blocks across 23 appearances in 2024-25. Crevier's return might result in Ethan Del Mastro being a healthy scratch.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Might play versus Jackets
Rotowire
Crevier (concussion) could be an option against Columbus on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Crevier hasn't played since Feb. 1 versus the Panthers, a stretch of three games on the shelf due to his concussion. If the 23-year-old blueliner is given the all-clear, he'll need to first be activated off injured reserve. The Hawks could place Jason Dickinson (ankle) on IR in a corresponding move.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Tallies in loss Monday
Rotowire
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: 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: Up from minors
Rotowire
Crevier was summoned from AHL Rockford on Saturday.
Crevier contributed three helpers in 24 regular-season appearances with the Blackhawks in 2023-24. He has an assist in 11 AHL outings this campaign. With Seth Jones (foot) unavailable, Crevier could see his first NHL action of 2024-25.

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: Good to go
Rotowire
Crevier (mouth) will return to the lineup Sunday versus Detroit, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Crevier, who will be back from a two-game absence, will play alongside Jarred Tinordi on the third pairing versus the Red Wings. The 22-year-old Crevier has three assists, 14 shots on goal, 43 blocked shots and 21 hits in 20 NHL outings this season. His return will bump Isaak Phillips to the press box.

Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Out Friday
Rotowire
Crevier (mouth) will not suit up Friday against the Jets, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Crevier has now missed the last two games, but his injury is reportedly minor, so he could be back sooner rather than later. The 22-year-old rookie has picked up three helpers through 20 contests this campaign.

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.
