Chicago Blackhawks rookie Nick Lardis is finding his footing in the NHL with the help of teammate Oliver Moore. The two have formed a close bond, often discussing their experiences and strategies after practice sessions.
Lardis's first few weeks in the league were high-pressure, as he was tasked with replacing Connor Bedard's production against Original Six teams. However, the Christmas break and subsequent flight cancellations offered a brief respite. As January rolled around, Lardis has settled into a rhythm, displaying confidence on the ice.
"I've kind of settled in," Lardis said. "I just want to keep getting better every single game. The confidence has always been there since game one, so I just want to keep showing that."
The young forward has shown improvement over his last four games, scoring points in consecutive contests and racking up eight shots on goal. While Assistant Coach Mike Vellucci notes that Lardis can speed up his shooting release, the rookie's intelligence and ability to score have been impressive.
One area where Lardis has excelled is shootouts. He has converted two of his first three attempts in the NHL, looking particularly comfortable doing so. Interestingly, Lardis wasn't a regular shootout performer for the Brantford Bulldogs last season, when he scored 71 goals in the OHL.
Off the ice, defenseman Louis Crevier has become a social media sensation among Blackhawks fans. His tall frame and fashion sense have led to many Instagram posts showcasing his outfits, which he insists are not premeditated. "I'm too tall to be fashioned," Crevier joked, as his account has seen an influx of followers.
As Lardis continues to grow in the league, it's clear that his friendship with Moore and the team's camaraderie will play a significant role in his success.
