Chicago Blackhawks‘ undrafted rookie left wing Mike Hardman(39) scores a 1st NHL goal in his 5th game.
The 6’2″ 205 lbs. forward has skated roughly 17 shifts for 10+ minutes per outing.
Signed to a two year entry level deal through 2021/2022, he wasted no time getting situated, joining the taxi squad with the big club instead of heading to Rockford Icehogs to start his pro career.
He’s been with them for just over a month before getting his opportunity to show what the power pivot could do coming off only his 2nd campaign at Boston College Eagles, where he scored 10 goals and 9 assists in a COVID shortened 24 NCAA Division 1 Hockey East game schedule.
The 22-year Hanover, MA native is just getting started, obviously.
In 2 years for Utica Comets, under contract to New Jersey Devils scores pretty well, but for his 1st time, he elects to play his pro hockey elsewhere and signs HV71 for 2026/2027.
He will do well in the SHL.
