Gets on scoresheet with assist Lindell registered a shorthanded assist, four blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Lindell couldn't find a point in seven October outings, but he got on the scoresheet with a helper on Jamie Benn's first-period tally. While Lindell has often been listed on the third pairing this season, his work on the penalty kill essentially makes him a de facto top-four blueliner. The Finn has 11 shots on net, 12 hits, 17 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-1 rating through eight appearances as a defensive specialist.

No offense early in season Lindell has not recorded a point in seven games this season.

Impact Lindell is usually good for 20-30 points in any given season, but he's off to a slow start on offense. He's still playing a solid physical game with 13 blocked shots and 10 hits, and he's added 11 shots on net and a minus-2 rating. In past years, Lindell has been counted on as more of a two-way defenseman, but the emergence of Thomas Harley and the continued presence of Ryan Suter in a top-four role means Lindell is more of a shutdown defender in 2023-24.

The defenseman snapped the scoring drought when he set up Jason Robertson's second goal of the game late in the second period. Lindell is at three helpers, a minus-9 rating, 25 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and 14 hits through 17 playoff outings in a top-four role.
