Lindholm missed Monday’s practice and is listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Golden Knights. With Lindholm in question, the Ducks are expected to recall Jaycob Megna from San Diego (AHL).
Lindholm was at the rink this morning but did not take part in the morning skate, leaving him as a game-time decision against the Bruins. It’s a late start, making Lindholm a very risky daily fantasy pick, but monitor his status when the Ducks hit the ice for warmups.
Lindholm’s injury couldn’t come at a better time as the Ducks lost Cam Fowler on the weekend. Lindholm missed the first seven games of the season with a shoulder injury, but is expected to log massive minutes on the Ducks’ top-pair starting tomorrow.
Lindholm has missed the first seven games of the season but it looks like he could return earlier than expected. The Finnish defenseman was expected to be out until at least November, but he is expected to practice on Monday and just needs the “green light” to return on Tuesday. Monitor his status on Monday afternoon.
Lindholm is coming off of offseason shoulder surgery and the Ducks are expecting him to miss the first month of the season. Fellow defenseman Sami Vatanen is also out until November, so the Ducks brought back veteran blueliner Francois Beauchemin and their injuries open the door for a young defenseman like Andy Welkinski to make the team out of training camp.
Lindholm has missed the first 13 games of the season due to a contract holdout, but will be in the lineup on Wednesday. Revered as one of the best young defensemen in the NHL, Lindholm will have a huge impact on the Ducks’ blueline. Lindholm had 10 goals and 18 assists (28 points) last year and will look to build on that this season.
Lindholm missed the first eight games of the season due to a contract holdout, but now that he is signed, you can probably expect him to be in the lineup over the weekend. Lindholm is one of the best young defensemen in the NHL and comes in having scored 10 goals and 18 assists (28 points) in 80 games last year.
Lindholm missed Saturday’s game with a minor upper-body injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Flames. Lindholm has enjoyed a solid start to the year, having posting two goals, four assists and 43 shots on goal in 20 games.
Lindholm missed Saturday’s game in Tampa Bay, but his availability for Monday’s practice means there is a chance that he plays Tuesday vs. the Flames. Monitor during Tuesday’s morning skate.
It seems as if the Ducks will rest some of their key defensemen down the stretch. First it was Cam Fowler, then James Wisniewski and this afternoon it will be Lindholm. He will be replaced by Wisniewski who sat on Thursday. Expect him to be back in the lineup on Sunday.
Lindholm missed Wednesday’s game against the Lightning, but said that he needed some rest. He will be back in the lineup tonight in Calgary. Lindholm will be paired with Francois Beauchemin. He has 25 points (5G / 20A) and a plus-14 rating in 55 games this season.
