Vancouver Canucks center Elias Lindholm (undisclosed) could return to the lineup on Wednesday when the team hosts the Vegas Golden Knights. The veteran has missed the past seven games due to an undisclosed ailment but practiced with the team on Tuesday. "Possible for tomorrow but he's getting close," Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet said on Tuesday. Lindholm says he expects to be back before the start of the postseason. "I feel confident. I feel good. I feel healthy," Lindholm said. "I'm excited to hopefully play soon and get some games before playoffs." Acquired from the Flames a month ahead of the March 8 trade deadline, Lindholm has tallied just five goals and nine points in 22 games with the Canucks.
Elias Lindholm Takes Part In Game-Day Skate Monday
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Lindholm (undisclosed) took part in his team's morning skate before the club takes on the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night. The veteran pivot hasn't appeared in a game since March 23 due to an undisclosed injury. However, it doesn't appear Lindholm took part in line rushes, meaning he is likely doubtful to return on Monday night, although he has not been ruled out. Lindholm was acquired in a trade with the Calgary Flames a month ahead of the March 8 NHL trade deadline and has just five goals and nine points in 22 games with Vancouver. The Canucks sit first in the Pacific Division with a 47-22-8 record, three points ahead of the Edmonton Oilers, although the Oilers own a game in hand.
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Lindholm (undisclosed) remains day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, but bench boss Rick Tocchet said he isn't worried about the injury being long term. Lindholm was absent from Wednesday's practice and didn't play in a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. "I'm not really concerned," Tocchet said. "I think it's just something a little nagging that's getting better every day. That's the way you've got to look at it." There were reports that Lindholm was set to see a specialist, but Tocchet said, "Not to the best of my knowledge," when prompted about the report. Lindholm has 14 goals and 41 points between the Flames and Canucks this season but has just five goals and nine points in 22 games since being dealt to the Canucks.
Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Lindholm was held out of the lineup on Monday with what is believed to be a hand/wrist issue. The veteran remains day to day after he skated 15:42 against his old team, the Calgary Flames, in a 4-2 win on Saturday night. It's been a decent offensive season for the veteran who has tallied 14 goals and 41 points across 71 games, the first 49 of which came with the Flames. Since a deal to the Canucks, the Swede has notched five goals and nine points across 22 games but was also the subject of more trade rumors prior to the March 8 NHL Trade Deadline.
Jake Guentzel Being Pursued By Canucks, Elias Lindholm Could Be Flipped
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel (upper body) is being pursued by the Vancouver Canucks, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic. With the Canucks being close to the cap, there are also talks about Vancouver flipping recently acquired Elias Lindholm to the Boston Bruins to make room for Guentzel. This could work out for all three teams. Pittsburgh should get some good assets for Guentzel, Vancouver would upgrade their offensive firepower, and Boston would get their centerman. Both Lindholm and Guentzel would likely see a boost in fantasy production if a swap like this happens.
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Lindholm scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against the Hurricanes. Lindholm found the back of the net twice on the power-play in his Canucks debut, with the multi-goal effort bringing him to double digits on the season. Lindholm has season totals of 11 goals and 34 points through 50 games, while the move to the contending Canucks boosts his fantasy value in a significant way.
The Calgary Flames have traded center Elias Lindholm to the Vancouver Canucks, marking the first big domino to fall ahead of the March 8 NHL trade deadline. While the Canucks get one of the best available players more than a month before the deadline, the Flames netted a nice return that includes forward Andrei Kuzmenko, defensive prospects Hunter Brzustewicz and Joni Jarmo, a 2024 first-round pick, and a 2024 fourth-round pick that turns into a third-rounder if the Canucks make the Western Conference Final this season. Lindholm, a quality two-way center, has regressed offensively this season with nine goals and 32 points in 49 games but his 6.9% shooting rate is well below his 12.1% career mark. Positive goal-scoring regression should be on the horizon, especially considering Lindholm will see top-six and top power-play minutes with a Canucks offense that ranks second in the NHL with 3.80 goals per game on the season.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm registered a goal and two assists as the team defeated Vancouver 5-2 on Thursday. The Canucks suffered only their second loss in nine games when Lindholm helped Calgary bounce back from an early deficit. His first assist came when MacKenzie Weegar tied the game at one. Lindholm then logged another helper on Noah Hanifin's game-winning goal, and he wrapped up the scoring himself with an empty-net goal. The big performance snapped a five-game point drought for Lindholm. In fact, the Swedish forward had gone pointless in nine of his previous 10 outings, so he must have been very relieved to have regained his scoring touch Thursday. Despite the very unproductive spell, Lindholm still leads the Flames in scoring, with 11 points (three goals, eight assists) amassed in 16 games.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm is open to staying with the team as he gets ready to start the final season of his current contract. "I am willing to stay," Lindholm told hockeysverige.se, according to a translation. "My agent and Calgary will take care of most of it. There is a lot we have to agree on, but I have said that I can imagine staying." Lindholm likely wants a significant raise from his current average salary of $4.85 million. He was the team's second-best scorer in 2022-23 with 64 points (22 goals, 42 assists) in 80 games and is only a year removed from a 40-goal campaign. The 28-year-old Swede has played the last five seasons in Calgary, posting 139 goals and 325 points across 369 regular-season outings.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm (personal) was back in Sunday's practice and should return to the lineup for Monday's encounter with Philadelphia. He missed Saturday's game against the Rangers to welcome a baby boy into the world with his wife. Lindholm has racked up a team-high 49 points in 54 appearances this season. He is currently partnered on the first line by Dillon Dube and Tyler Toffoli, who have both enjoyed hot form lately, combining for 13 points in six games this month.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm (personal) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Rangers. He wasn't present at the morning skate as he and his wife are expecting the birth of their first child. Adam Ruzicka filled in for Lindholm on the first line. If he can't play, Lindholm would be missing only his second game of the season. He had a pretty slow start to the campaign but has improved as the season has progressed and sits at the top of the team's scoring list with 49 points in 54 games. Ruzicka has tallied 20 points across 39 appearances and hasn't played since Feb. 9.
Elias Lindholm Tallies Three Points In Friday's Win
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm bagged a goal and two assists as the team powered past Seattle 5-2 Friday night. He notched all of his points in the first period of play, recording his fifth career three-point period. Lindholm initially struggled to find his feet this season, but he has been crushing it since December with nine goals and 20 assists in 27 appearances. It's pushed him to 45 points for the whole campaign, with Lindholm having recorded 15 goals and 30 assists through 49 outings. Lindholm was a point-per-game player last season, so his form was always going to improve. There should also be a little more room for improvement left for the latter half of the season.
Elias Lindholm Picks Up Three Points In Sunday's Win
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm had a three-point night against San Jose on Sunday, finishing a 5-2 victory with two goals and an assist. He grabbed a record from the contest as well, posting the fastest two goals to open a period by a player in franchise history. After setting Milan Lucic up for a goal in the second period, Lindholm potted a power-play goal 16 seconds into the third and grabbed his second marker with just 35 seconds played. The 28-year-old has now gone off for five points in two games, upping his total for the season to 28 points. Lindholm has benefited from a slight line shakeup, with Dillon Dube having replaced Jonathan Huberdeau on his left hand. The move has also boosted Dube's production, as he has collected three points in the past two games.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm collected two assists in Friday's 5-2 loss to St. Louis. He combined with Dillon Dube twice to help Connor Mackey get his first goals of the season. Despite the good work, Lindholm was minus-one for the contest in 18:46 of action. He added four shots and one hit to his line. It's been a tough year for Lindholm and the team so far, and the 28-year-old can't be happy sitting on 25 points through 30 games after being a point-per-game player last term. There's still time to turn the season around, but the rest of the crew needs to step up as well.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm (upper body) looks ready to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Canucks. He sat out Monday's 2-1 loss to Montreal with an upper-body injury, but it appears that it wasn't a serious ailment, as Lindholm joined the team for Wednesday's morning skate. He took his regular spot on the first line. Lindholm recently had a three-game goal streak, and his form has noticeably improved in recent weeks, with him following up a five-game scoring drought with a run of seven points in six games. He's on 23 points for the whole campaign in 28 games. Lindholm's scoring rate has dropped significantly compared to last season, but he has still been Calgary's top scorer.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm continued his recent hot streak with a three-point effort in Monday's 6-5 win over the Kings. He scored a power-play goal early in the second period to make it 5-2 and picked up two assists. Lindholm had an awfully slow start to the season, but he has now registered 10 points in eight November outings, with half of them coming in his past two appearances. The whole top line has started to work well, with Adam Ruzicka scoring in a second consecutive game Monday and Tyler Toffoli also racking up three points. Lindholm, who boasts 13 points for the whole campaign, will hope to maintain his red-hot form Thursday versus Tampa Bay.
Calgary Flames centerman Elias Lindholm notched his 30th goal of the season as the Flames shut out Detroit 3-0 on Saturday. Lindholm's marker came on the power play in the first period. The Boden, Sweden, native has 30 goals and 32 helpers in 57 contests. He's been an essential player for Calgary down the stretch, recording six game-winning goals and 162 shots on goal versus opposing netminders. If a fantasy manager is lucky enough to have Lindholm on their fantasy roster, he is a must-start player every night the Flames are in action.
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm started the Flames' rally on Sunday night with a goal that thwarted a shutout bid by Robin Lehner. Lindholm connected with Rasmus Andersson on the play 9:19 into the final period. That cut the Calgary deficit in half at the time. Lindholm had four shots on goal and several scoring chances. It did seem the center and rest of his teammates were a bit off during the first half of the game. However, Calgary did come back hard in the third before losing. The center now has 11 goals on the season and still is averaging a point a game for the Flames.
Elias Lindholm Shoots Away But Comes Up Empty Monday
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm attempted nine shots on goal on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Six bounced off goaltender Tristan Jarry but none got past the Pittsburgh goalie. Lindholm had five scoring chances in all including a couple in overtime. Unfortunately, the center did not even muster an assist on Monday which ended his seven-game point streak (two goals, seven assists). Lindholm is stuck at 23 points in 22 games but remains a must play whether it is daily fantasy or dynasty.
Elias Lindholm Extends Point Streak To Six Games Tuesday
Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm dished out two assists on Tuesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. In the 5-2 Calgary win, Lindholm had four shots and a blocked shot while playing 17:22. The center saw his point streak go up to six games and his point total to 22 in 20 games on the season. Lindholm flanks a line with Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau that has been one of the undervalued lines in hockey. Also, the Calgary center is an eye-popping +18 while piling up eight power-play points. Lindholm is on pace to score more than 80 points.
