• Flames' Elias Lindholm: Supplies power-play assist

  1D ago •

  Lindholm had a power-play assist, three hits and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks. Lindholm initiated a passing play that went through Matthew Tkachuk to Sean Monahan for the opening goal. While Lindholm is only 14-for-40 (35 percent) on faceoffs through two games, the Swede is doing just about everything else right as a top-line center. Lindholm has three points, a plus-2 rating and four hits this year, and his chemistry with Tkachuk should lead to a fruitful season for both of them.

Lindholm saw his point production dip from a career-high 78 in 2018-19 to just 54 last season, although he did register a personal-best 29 goals.

  Lindholm had a career-high 29 goals and added 25 assists in 70 games during 2019-20. Lindholm erupted for 27 goals and 78 points in 2018-19, but he took a step back this year. Part of his regression came from his linemates Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau performing poorly. Lindholm individually shot a career-best 17.2 percent on 169 shots. The Swede has typically played as a right wing in his two years as a Flame, but if the team ships out a center during the offseason, Lindholm could adjust to playing pivot in the top six.
