Scouting Feed
Berezhnoy will play in North America during the 2025-26 season, either with the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Rockford IceHogs or the ECHL’s Indy Fuel. It’s not out of the question to see him make his NHL debut this season if his season starts well, injuries occur to other Chicago netminders, and the Blackhawks find themselves at the bottom of the league standings toward the end of the season, but it’s unlikely. Chicago has time to let him develop, given that he’s on a two-year contract. The Blackhawks have Laurent Brossoit, Spencer Knight, Arvid Soderblom, Drew Commesso, and Adam Gajan, as well as Ilya Kanarsky, on their organizational depth chart, but none are signed long-term. He’ll be a restricted free agent upon expiry in 2027 and is an intriguing goaltender to put on your watch list in dynasty leagues.
