Three-point outing Sunday Lardis scored twice and added an assist in AHL Rockford's 3-2 win over Milwaukee on Sunday.

Impact Lardis has six goals and three helpers over his last six games, scoring twice in three of those contests. The 20-year-old is now above a point-per-game pace this season, accumulating 11 goals and 11 helpers over 20 appearances. It's unclear when he might be in contention for his first NHL call-up, but his scoring talent has been on full display as an AHL rookie.

Impact Lardis also had two goals in a 4-3 win over Texas on Friday. The winger is up to nine goals and 18 points over 17 appearances in his first full professional season. Lardis' scoring potential is evident, and it doesn't seem like it'll take him long to become a potential middle-six scorer and power-play option in Chicago.

Scores twice for AHL Rockford Lardis scored two goals in AHL Rockford's 4-3 win over Texas on Friday.

Impact Lardis ended a six-game goal drought with the effort. He was on fire before that slump, which saw him post just one assist. The 20-year-old is an AHL rookie, so that will lead to some ups and downs as he adjusts to the league. He's done pretty well overall with seven goals and nine assists through 16 appearances so far.

Leads IceHogs to win Tuesday Lardis scored twice and added an assist in AHL Rockford's 6-1 win over Chicago on Tuesday.

Impact Lardis earned his first multi-goal game at the AHL level in this matinee contest. The 20-year-old winger has found the scoresheet in six of eight games so far, racking up four goals, eight assists, 21 shots on net and a plus-11 rating for the IceHogs. The Blackhawks will give him plenty of time with Rockford, but he's shaping up to be a positive contributor in the NHL in a year or two.

Hot start for Rockford Lardis scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Rockford's 3-2 overtime win over Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Lardis is in his first full professional season after torching the OHL for 71 goals and 117 points in 65 regular-season contests with Brantford last year. The 20-year-old winger has already displayed a scoring touch in the minors with four points in as many games to begin 2025-26. He won't be a goal-per-game player as a pro, but expect strong scoring numbers even as an AHL rookie. If all works out, he could be an NHL candidate within a couple of years.

RELEASE: Blackhawks Sign Nick Lardis to Entry-Level Deal | Chicago Blackhawks Third-round pick in 2023 NHL Draft inks contract starting next year with $896,667 salary cap hit

APRIL 3, 2024 • NHL.COM

Agrees to entry-level contract Lardis signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Chicago on Wednesday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago. The deal will begin with the 2024-25 campaign.

Impact Lardis has 29 goals and 50 points in 37 contests with OHL Brantford this season. He was selected by Chicago with the No. 67 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. Lardis has enough offensive potential to give him the potential to someday have significant relevance in fantasy circles. However, he's probably not going to feature in the NHL anytime soon.
