Lardis scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Lardis ended a five-game point drought with an insurance tally in the third period. The 20-year-old forward ended the season at 10 goals, 15 points, 57 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-18 rating over 41 appearances. Lardis will need to have a good training camp in the fall, but he should see some NHL action in 2026-27.

Lardis (hand) is expected to play against Seattle on Saturday, according to Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
After blocking a shot with his hand in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton, Lardis participated in Saturday's morning skate and appears to be good to go against the Kraken. He has contributed nine goals, 14 points, 48 shots on net and 47 hits across 35 NHL appearances this season.

Lardis scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Lardis has three goals and two assists over his last four outings. The 20-year-old winger is getting a sustained look on the second line, though he was at just 10:57 of ice time in this contest, his lowest mark in five games. He's up to eight goals, five assists, 40 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-10 rating over 32 appearances this season. Lardis has some scoring upside if he can stay in the upper half of the lineup, but there's a fair amount of risk involved for fantasy managers that might want to deploy him to boost their teams.

Lardis scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old rookie produced the first multi-point performance of his NHL career in his 30th game, opening the scoring for Chicago midway through the first period before having a hand in tallies by Tyler Bertuzzi and Frank Nazar. Lardis, a third-round pick in the 2023 Draft, doesn't have the pure upside of the likes of Connor Bedard or Anton Frondell, but after racking up 18 goals and 32 points in 35 games for AHL Rockford this season, he'll get a long look in a middle-six role over the final weeks of 2025-26.

Lardis scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
This was Lardis' first goal and second point over eight games during his current stint in the NHL. The 20-year-old had been confined to the bottom six for much of that time, but he got a look on the second line Sunday. Lardis' time in the top six could be short, as Anton Frondell is expected to the join the Blackhawks soon, and Sacha Boisvert (not injury related) is also ready to debut once his visa paperwork is completed. Lardis has long-term fantasy potential, but he'll need to differentiate himself as the Blackhawks look poised to let the youth take over for the rest of this campaign.

Lardis will be recalled from AHL Rockford, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With head coach Jeff Blashill confirming that Drew Commesso and Nick Lardis will join the Blackhawks in Dallas on Sunday, an official call-up from the AHL is imminent for the latter. Lardis has thrived with Rockford this season, where he has 18 goals, 14 assists and 100 shots on net across 35 games. While he has just seven points across 21 games with Chicago this season, he'll have another chance to carve out a role in the majors following the trade deadline.

Lardis was sent down to AHL Rockford on Monday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lardis became expendable on the roster after Teuvo Teravainen (upper body) was cleared to return versus the Wild on Tuesday. In 21 NHL games, the 20-year-old Lardis has managed five goals on 32 shots and two assists, including a trio of power-play points. He's been significantly more productive with the IceHogs, racking up 26 points in 25 minor-league outings.

Lardis scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Lardis had gone four games without a point. The 20-year-old is still finding his way at the NHL level, playing mainly in a third-line role with some power-play time on the second unit. He's up to five goals, one assist, 30 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-8 rating over 19 outings to begin his career.

Lardis scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Lardis has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. He's been able to make some noise from the third line and second power-play unit -- three of his five points this season have come with the man advantage. The 20-year-old winger is up to four goals, one helper, 24 shots, 24 hits and a minus-6 rating across 14 outings with the Blackhawks.
