The 18-year-old center is up to three goals, eight points, 24 shots on net, eight hits and nine blocked shots through nine games.

Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Pots first NHL goal
Rotowire
Frondell scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Frondell's first NHL goal opened the scoring at 4:42 of the first period. The 18-year-old has a goal, four helpers, 13 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through five appearances since coming over from the SHL. Frondell shouldn't be expected to be a point-per-game player over a longer stretch, but he can do enough from a top-six role to help fantasy managers looking for a boost late in the season.

Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Earns two helpers in loss
Rotowire
Frondell logged two assists and three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
Frondell has four helpers over his first four NHL games. His second assist Sunday was his first career power-play point. The 18-year-old got a look at center in this contest, but he went just 2-for-9 at the dot. He'll have time to either develop down the middle or focus on a shift to the wing in the next few years as the Blackhawks work to build a winning roster through a draft-and-develop pathway.

Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Joins Blackhawks on road trip
Rotowire
Frondell arrived in New York on Monday ahead of the Blackhawks' game against the Islanders on Tuesday, per Scott Powers of The Athletic.
Frondell just finished his season in the SHL, and considering he has already signed his entry-level contract with Chicago, it's not much of a surprise that the team's brass wanted the 18-year-old to join the Blackhawks after a strong campaign overseas. Powers noted that it's unclear if Frondell will play on Long Island on Tuesday. The Swedish center is a highly-regarded prospect who was selected No. 3 overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, and he'll eventually be a key piece in the top six with the likes of Connor Bedard, Frank Nazar and Sacha Boisvert (not injury related) in the coming years.

Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Hits high mark for 18-year-old
Rotowire
Frondell scored his 20th goal of the season in Djurgardens' 3-2 loss to Skelleftea in the SHL on Saturday.
Per Scott Powers of The Athletic, Frondell is the first 18-year-old to hit the 20-goal mark in Sweden's top league since Daniel Sedin did it in 1998-99. That's elite company for Frondell, who ends the regular season with 20 goals and eight assists in 43 appearances. Given that level of production, Frondell looks ready to take his game to North America in 2026-27.
