The Chicago Blackhawks have had a number of rookies score goals this season. The latest was Mike Hardman last night against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Mike Hardman has 20 hits in five games with the Blackhawks. The 22-year-old rookie is with the team to play physical, and he has been great at that through the first five games with the team. Hardman signed with the Blackhawks after finishing up his season with Boston College. Similar rookies have made the jump like Hardman as John Hayden did the same a few years ago.
