Blackhawks' Nick Lardis: Scores lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Lardis scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.
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.

Blackhawks' Nick Lardis: Lights lamp Sunday
Rotowire
Lardis scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
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.

Blackhawks' Nick Lardis: Gets first NHL goal
Rotowire
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 playing 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.
