I don’t really look at Lindholm’s game in that way. To me, he’s the glue that binds his line together. He’s always in the right position and the way he can forecheck, backcheck and apply pressure the opposition in all areas of the ice, that’s probably his greatest asset. The NHL is checking league now and that’s exactly what he brings to the table each and every night.
Even with the way he’s fighting the puck right now and lack of production, he still manages to never hurt the team. I mean, he’s on pace for a +59 season. I know this isn’t everyone’s favorite stat, but I certainly wouldn’t mind a guy who’s on the ice for 59 goals for than against.
