Lindholm tends to be lower on one side, with Johnny quarterbacking from the more the half wall on either side.
Perfect example is Tkachuks PP goal last night. They start with Johnny on the left but as the play evolves he moves to the RH side and starts QBing from there. Even tries to feed Andersson for a one timer.

That was a very interesting setup where they used no bumper for most of it - just 5 guys circling and passing, until Tkachuk snuck into that soft spot. Usually Monahan parks high slot bumper but he was not in that spot.
