Lardis was credited with ten (10) shots on goal by the end of the second period. The first three of his four goals were at even strength; the fourth was on the power play. He added an assist on Brantford’s ninth goal of the afternoon for a solid five-point afternoon.
Ben Pope wrote about Lardis for Sunday, which worked out really for him that Lardis had himself another strong performance.
