Robert Virgil Nardella III (born April 22, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for HV71 in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).
On April 5, 2019, Nardella signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League. A few days later, he signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Capitals American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hershey Bears. He competed with the Capitals during their 2019 Pre-season games. He recorded his first career AHL goal on December 15, 2019, against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
After completing his first full season in the AHL with the Hershey Bears, with the following 2020–21 set to be delayed due to the ongoing pandemic, Nardella in order to resume playing was sent on a season long loan by the Capitals to Swedish top tier club, Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), on September 30, 2020. Nardella enjoyed a successful debut European season with Djurgårdens IF, posting 7 goals and leading the club with 26 assists and 33 points through 47 regular season games. Helping the team qualify for the playoffs, he added 1 assist in 3 games. On April 15, 2021, Nardella was re-assigned by the Capitals to rejoin AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears for the remainder of the season.
Following two further seasons with the Bears and helping the club capture the Calder Cup in the 2022–23 campaign, Nardella left as a free agent in the off-season and returned to Sweden and the SHL, signing a one-year contract with HV71 on July 31, 2023.
Nardella has represented the United States internationally. He represented his home country in the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament and at the 2014 World Junior A Challenge.
