Alex Vlasic Stats & Bio | Blackhawks Defenseman

About Alex Vlasic

Alex Vlasic serves as a defenseman for the Chicago Blackhawks, wearing number 72 and bringing an imposing 6'6" frame to the blue line. Born on June 5, 2001, in Wilmette, Illinois, Vlasic is a hometown product who developed his game at Boston University before making the jump to professional hockey. His size and reach make him a challenging matchup for opposing forwards, and his ability to control space in the defensive zone has drawn attention from coaches and scouts alike. In his most recent stretch of six games, Vlasic contributed two assists while continuing to build his NHL experience. Still young and developing, the Wilmette native represents an exciting part of the Blackhawks' rebuilding core, with plenty of room to grow into a reliable presence on Chicago's defensive unit.
