Hardman scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Hardman has played the last five games in a bottom-six role, and he finally got on the scoresheet Tuesday. The 22-year-old has provided a physical aspect with 20 hits so far. He’s not likely to have much fantasy appeal this season, but he could be a factor for a more permanent role heading into the 2021-22 campaign.
