Lindholm scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Lindholm set up a David Pastrnak tally at 9:09 of the second period and then scored a goal of his own, which was the game-winner, just 13 seconds later. Through five contests, Lindholm has three points, 13 shots on net, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He's seeing steady top-four minutes as well as some power-play time. The 30-year-old defenseman was limited to 26 points in 73 regular-season outings a year ago, but that was just one season after a career-best 53-point effort, so he should be capable of landing somewhere in middle of those two marks in 2024-25.
