So is your beef that they should take him off the PK and start using him at ES instead?

Yeah, this is what happens when you look at stats in isolation. It’s be nice to get Lindholm more time at 5v5, but he’s our #1 penalty killer and him centering the PK (including being the lone Forward on the 5-on-3 for pretty much the whole two minutes) is a big reason why it’s been so good.
The key to getting Lindholm more 5v5 time is taking less penalties. He’s our best two-way Forward.
