Lardis scored a goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Senators.
Lardis potted his first NHL tally at 7:17 of the third period to bring the Blackhawks back within a goal. He's seen limited minutes in a bottom-six role, including just 8:17 in Saturday's contest despite Frank Nazar (upper body) leaving the game early. Lardis is at least getting power-play time, but the 20-year-old winger will have a tough time making a big impact without a larger overall role.

Blackhawks' Nick Lardis: Called up Saturday
Rotowire
Lardis was recalled from AHL Rockford on Saturday.
The Blackhawks need a 13th forward as Connor Bedard is out of action after injuring his shoulder Friday. Lardis has been lighting it up in the AHL in his first full professional season, tallying 13 goals and 26 points in 24 games, good for sixth place in AHL scoring, as well as leading all rookies in points. He could make his NHL debut against Detroit on Saturday.
