Updated on December 13, 2025 at 12:35pm

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.
