28 Elias Lindholm RW

Flames' Elias Lindholm: Notches first playoff goal

Lindholm has two points and 16 hits in four games in the series. He's also blocked eight shots. His first taste of playoff action hasn't quite gone to plan, as the Flames are down 3-1 in the series. Lindholm had 78 points in the regular season, but has yet to have the same impact in the playoffs.

Flames' Elias Lindholm: Chips in power-play apple

Lindholm registered 78 points in 81 regular-season appearances, as well as 82 hits. It's not likely for the top-line winger to have five hits a game, but his physicality is a rarely-discussed aspect to Lindholm's game, which can help create space for linemate Johnny Gaudreau. Lindholm can probably help DFS players in the first round of the playoffs.

Flames' Elias Lindholm: Rejoining lineup versus Oilers

Lindholm's position for the contest is still up in the air with Sean Monahan (illness) officially a game-time decision. Should Monahan be out, Lindholm will likely center Johnny Gaudreau and James Neal. He's had a career year with 78 points (27 goals, 51 assists), and he'll get one more chance to add to those impressive totals.

Flames' Elias Lindholm: Won't play Wednesday

The Flames have already locked down the No. 1 seed in the West, so they'll use the last few games of the regular season as an opportunity to give their studs some extra rest. It remains to be seen if Lindholm will rejoin the lineup for Saturday's season finale against Edmonton.

Flames' Elias Lindholm: Five games without points

It's been a career year, as he has 77 points (27 goals, 50 helpers) in as many games, but Lindholm has slowed down the stretch. He has only five points in 13 games in March, but four of those came in a chaotic 9-4 win over the Devils. Additionally, he briefly left Wednesday's game after taking a hard hit from Stars defenseman Roman Polak, but he was able to return after getting checked out in the locker room.
