Lindstrom, 31, returned to the NHL this season after spending the last five seasons overseas. With the Blues at full health, Lindstrom has been a healthy scratch since February 6th. Overall he has three goals and three assists in 34 games this season.
Lindstrom served as a healthy scratch last night, but will be back in for Ty Rattie tonight. He has just six points (3G / 3A) and a minus-6 rating in 33 games this season.
Lindstrom was ruled out for Thursday's game, but it does not look good for him as he battles a bacterial illness. The Blues will already be without David Backes, T.J Oshie and Paul Stastny tonight, so they could definitely use Lindstrom.
Lindstrom's second tour of North America was about as successful as his first. He returns to his homeland where he is expected to dominate the SEL.
Neither player holds any fantasy hockey value while on waivers.
Lindstrom scored his two goals of the season in his first game with the Avs and has not scored since. He figures to play on the third line to start tonight's game.
Lindstrom draws back into the lineup. The former SEL standout has two goals and five points through 15 games.
The Avs are serious about adding the Swedish import to their lineup. Last season, he scored 28 goals and 60 points while with Skelleftea HC of the SEL, leading his team and the league in scoring. He could produce 40-45 points if used in the right situations.
The Avs did not sign Lindstrom to toil on the fourth line; he clearly will get his chance to play with the big boys. A few seasons ago, the left wing potted nine goals in only 44 games while playing for the Phoenix Coyotes -- he could be a sleeper, 20-goal scorer if he remains on Stastny's wing.
