That makes it 3 goals from 3 games. I'm not sure but I think he only started the Carlisle match.
Today, away at Stevenage, he came on as a sub after 83 mins nd scored after 85 mins - more than likely his first touch of the match.
There's no highlights video available yet but the BBC match report insinuates that he was running, face to goal, with the ball as he rounded the 'keeper to score.
With his goals in the last 3 matches, Hardie has now fired the Pilgrims into the automatic promotion places.
If anyone can get a Youtube highlights before me, please post it.

I've not checked up on Hardie all the time but this weekend he started, didn't score, and was subbed at half time in Plymouth's 3-0 away loss at Colchester.

Only seen clips, but Plymouth do look a neat passing side for Div 2.

For those asking me why Ryan Hardie is back at Bloomfield Road today, I'd imagine he'll be meeting with Neil Critchley on what will be his day off (Plymouth don't play until next weekend).

Ryan Hardie closing in on 10-goal target of Plymouth Argyle manager Ryan Lowe
The on-loan Blackpool striker has already netted seven times in 13 games for the Pilgrims
Ryan Lowe was always confident that striker Ryan Hardie would score goals for Plymouth Argyle after signing on loan from League One outfit Blackpool in January.
But the Pilgrims’ boss has admitted that Hardie netting seven times in 13 games has been ‘a bonus’.
Hardie added to his goal tally when he opened the scoring in the 3-0 win against Macclesfield Town at Home Park on Saturday.
With nine more games left in the League Two campaign, there is a good chance that the 22-year-old could reach double figures.
That would be quite an achievement in such a relatively short period of time.
Lowe said: “When I first spoke to Ryan I said I wanted a striker who was going to come and get me 10 goals until the end of the season.
“At the moment, he could get it, he could bypass it.
“Sometimes you will get the ones (new signings) that are not right so there might be a bit of credit coming our way for it, but the credit has to go to the boy.
“We have seen the talent in him. We have seen where he can score goals and how he scores goals.
“Did we feel he could plenty of goals in our team the way we play? 100 per cent, yeah.”
Hardie signed for Blackpool from Glasgow Rangers for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract last summer.
However, he has scored only once in a total of seven starts and five substitute appearances for the Seasiders.
It has been a much better goals per game ration for the striker at Lowe’s attack-minded Argyle.
Lowe said: “We are pleased with Ryan, the way he has come in and handled himself.
“He had to wait patiently and now hopefully he’s getting rewarded by starting games and scoring goals.”
Lowe was linked with a number of strikers, both before the January transfer window and at the start of it.
However, Hardie was not among the players rumoured to be on Lowe’s radar, and that was exactly how the Argyle manager wanted it.
He did his research on Hardie, including watching him play for Blackpool in a Central League game against Fleetwood Town, without word leaking out.
Lowe said: “I think we were tagged with loads of strikers. We kept Ryan under cover a little bit.
“I went and watched him personally. I did a bit of homework on him.
“We spoke to players about him, ex-managers and, yeah, he was the right fit. We always knew if we got him up to speed that he would get chances.
“You have seen some of the chances that he creates himself.
“Is it a bonus now he has scored seven in 13? 100 per cent it is. But, as he will tell you, he sniffs goals out and that’s what he’s here to do.”
Hardie’s next chance to get more goals for Argyle will come away to Morecambe on Saturday.
