RYAN LINDGREN NEWS

Sends helper in Game 1 win Lindgren notched an assist, four hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Stars in Game 1.

Impact Lindgren returned from an upper-body injury that cost him the last three games of the regular season. His helper on Nathan MacKinnon's empty-netter in the third period snapped an eight-game slump for Lindgren. The 27-year-old Lindgren isn't a big factor on offense, having earned a career-high 22 points with 63 shots on net, 80 hits, 128 blocked shots, 40 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 72 regular-season appearances between the Avalanche and the Rangers. The veteran defenseman will add a physical presence in a bottom-four role for the playoffs.

Finds twine Saturday Lindgren scored a goal, had two shots on net and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win against Montreal.

Impact Lindgren's tally was just over ten minutes into the first quarter and gave Colorado an early 2-0 lead. His goal was the second he has scored with the Avalanche and his fourth of the season, which ties his career-high that he set in the 2021-22 campaign. Overall, Lindgren has 22 points, 53 shots on goal and 118 blocks in 64 appearances this season. Since he was acquired by the Avalanche via a trade on March 1st, Lindgren has seen just under 20 minutes of ice time per game as a part of the team's second defensive pairing. He sees a good chunk of opportunities at even strength but lacks the ceiling that other defenders have offensively in fantasy.

Lindgren has two points over his last four outings and is up to 21 points, 50 shots on net, 63 hits, 111 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 60 appearances this season. He'll continue to fill a shutdown role in the Avalanche's top four.

First point with new team Lindgren logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact The helper was Lindgren's first point in three games since he was traded from the Rangers. The 27-year-old has formed an ultra-physical shutdown pairing with Josh Manson, playing in a bottom-four role. The Avalanche's defense runs pretty deep, so Lindgren is likely to lose a couple of minutes per game compared to the 19:56 he averaged with the Rangers this season as Adam Fox's primary defensive partner. Lindgren is at 20 points, 45 shots on net, 60 hits, 103 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 57 appearances in the highest-scoring season of his career.
