Just for fun, Lindholm's 4 minuses came from:

1) Covering his guy while the other 4 flames screw up their coverage and leave Goldobin open

2) Making a nice defensive play to take away a pass to Granlund, only for the other 2 forwards to overskate the puck and Valimaki to leave the net uncovered.

3) Winning a puck battle behind the net, giving it to Monahan who promptly turns it over

4) Being on the ice when Gaudreau turns the puck over for the empty netter



Lindholm wasn't to blame for any of the 4. He was solid backchecking early and had a few decent zone entries while Gaudreau and Monahan were asleep at the wheel in the first 40.


Anyone who judges a player based on +/- is a nut. Now it all makes sense with this crazy Bennett talks lol
