Lindstrom is tentatively expected to remain in Columbus until mid-November after the Blue Jackets return from a West Coast trip. The goal is to make sure Lindstrom’s back is fully recovered by utilizing the Blue Jackets’ NHL training staff and facilities.
“We’re going to get to a point, probably, when we get back from that West Coast trip where we’ll need to make a decision about sending him back to juniors,” Waddell said. “The junior team agrees. They travel so much, so they don’t have the rehab (ability) we have. It’s best to keep him here until he’s ready to go.”
Once Lindstrom is cleared, he’ll return to practice with Medicine Hat prior to rejoining the Tigers’ lineup. Waddell said back surgery isn’t necessary and that contract discussions will pick up after his rehab is complete.
