With the 2025-26 season wrapping up last week, there were a lot of areas that the Chicago Blackhawks were either disappointing or needed improvement, but there were some areas of surprise. Maybe the most surprising results of the season were those of 24-year-old Louis Crevier.<\/p>\n
The Quebec native began his junior career with the Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens of the QMJHL. He played with Chicoutimi for three seasons and the Qu\u00e9bec Remparts for one season, where former NHL goaltender and Hockey Hall of Famer Patrick Roy was his head coach. In total, he played 216 games, where he collected 89 points (31 goals, 58 assists).<\/p>\n
Even though he had size and impressive scoring totals, he was left undrafted in his first year of NHL draft eligibility and was ranked the 188th skater in his overage year. Then-Blackhawks General Manager Stan Bowman drafted him with the second pick of the seventh round, 188th overall.<\/p>\n
If you scour the internet for people prognosticating Crevier playing top-pair minutes for any NHL team, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone mentioning his name. Most puck watchers had him predicted for most of his season in Rockford. Yet, this season, Crevier played all but four games with the Blackhawks this season and led all of the defensemen in scoring with 25 points (seven goals, 18 assists), beating Artyom Levshunov by one point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the 2025-26 season wrapping up last week, there were a lot of areas that the Chicago Blackhawks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":557360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5115],"tags":[521,37,96,5263,5,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-557359","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-blackhawks","8":"tag-blackhawks","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-blackhawks","11":"tag-chicagoblackhawks","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116443616641292334","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
