xGF% is his team's share of 5v5 expected goals while he was on the ice, from our own expected goals model; HDCF% counts only high-danger chances (xG of 0.15 or more). IPP is the share of his team's 5v5 goals while he was on the ice that he scored or assisted on. Relative stats compare him with his team when he was off the ice. Goals above expected and ixG/60 use his own shots at all strengths. PDO and OZS% describe luck and deployment, so their bars are grey.

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Lardis is a quick, physical forward who excels on the defensive end and manages the puck well, but struggles to create offensive chances for others. He shoots more from distance than inside scoring areas, which limits his impact as a scorer despite solid work in transition.
