Blackhawks' Anton Lindholm: Dropped to AHL

Blackhawks' Anton Lindholm: Suffers fractured thumb
Lindholm, who's currently in the AHL, is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a fractured thumb, NHL.com's Brandon Cain reports.
This news won't make waves in fantasy circles, as Lindholm has yet to play for the Blackhawks this season and isn't expected to have a significant NHL role this year. Another update on the 26-year-old blueliner's status should surface once he's cleared to return to AHL action.

Blackhawks' Anton Lindholm: Added to taxi squad
Chicago assigned Lindholm to its taxi squad Friday.
Lindholm drew into four games with the Avalanche last season, picking up one assist while averaging 11:47 of ice time per contest. The 26-year-old blueliner won't be anything more than an emergency depth option for the Blackhawks in 2020-21.

Lindholm was never expected to make the Opening Night roster, but he's made 66 NHL appearances over the past four seasons, so he'll likely end up on Chicago's taxi squad. The 26-year-old blueliner tallied one assist in four games with the Avalanche last campaign.

Blackhawks' Anton Lindholm: Shipped to Chicago
The Avalanche traded Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov to the Blackhawks for Brandon Saad and Dennis Gilbert on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Lindholm hasn't piled up points at any stage of his hockey career, so this change of scenery likely won't change things for the 25-year-old blueliner. He'll bring 66 games of NHL experience to the Blackhawks, however, and he can work on the third pairing if injuries pop up on the blue line. Lindholm likely will begin the upcoming season with AHL Rockford.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Ascends to top level
The Avalanche recalled Lindholm from AHL Colorado on Sunday.
With Cale Makar (upper body) and Erik Johnson (lower body) on injured reserve, Lindholm will head up and serve as the seventh defenseman. Lindholm has posted just two points over 23 games in the AHL this season, and his first chance to crack the lineup is Monday against the Blues.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Lands two-year deal
Lindholm signed a two-year contract with Colorado on Tuesday.
Lindholm spent the majority of the 2018-19 campaign in the minors, notching eight points in 57 games, but he also made two appearances with the big club, going scoreless while posting a minus-1 rating over that span. The 2014 fifth-round pick will likely have a similar role in 2019-20, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to have him on their radars.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Handed qualifying offer
Lindholm was extended a qualifying offer from the Avalanche on Tuesday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reported.
Lindholm, 24, a fifth-round draft pick, back in 2014, has only found the scoresheet four times in 62 games, all assists. Facing an uncertain future, one thing is certain and it's that Lindholm, while a serviceable blueliner at the NHL level, offers little-to-no fantasy upside regardless of what jersey he wears. He last appeared in a game Dec. 22, 2018.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Promoted to NHL
Lindholm was called up from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
Lindholm has produced four points -- all assists -- over 62 career games with the Avalanche. The Swede prides himself on playing a physical game, but he's not likely to see enough ice time to make a tangible fantasy impact, even with Mark Barberio (undisclosed) on injured reserve.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Bumped back to minors
The Avalanche demoted Lindholm to AHL Colorado on Tuesday, per the AHL transactions log.
Lindholm will hit the showers early with the Wild on tap Wednesday, heading back to the AHL after he drew into just two games in his time with the Avalanche. Not much of an offensive threat, the 24-year-old's relegation shouldn't have much of an impact from a fantasy standpoint. Still, he should remain one of the top options for recall if the Avalanche require reinforcements along the blue line.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Rises to big club
The Avalanche recalled Lindholm from AHL Colorado on Sunday.
Since Erik Johnson is dealing with an upper-body injury, Lindholm was brought up to provide depth on the Avalanche's blue line. He has suited up for just two NHL games this season and recorded less than 7:19 TOI in each outing, so he'll likely land on the bottom pairing if he enters the lineup and won't have appealing fantasy potential.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Shifts back to minors
The Avalanche reassigned Lindholm to AHL Colorado, TSN reports.
Lindholm played two games in this NHL stint and went minus-1 while averaging 7:10 of ice time. If Nikita Zadorov (lower body) remains out for Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights, expect Lindholm to return to the big club.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Promoted to top level
The Avalanche recalled Lindholm from AHL Colorado on Friday.
The Avalanche only had five healthy defensemen on their roster prior to Lindholm's promotion, so he'll almost certainly draw into the lineup immediately for Friday's game against the Blackhawks. The 24-year-old Swede has tallied five assists in 20 AHL appearances this season.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Redirected to AHL
Lindholm (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve and subsequently assigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.
Lindholm's placement on injured reserve evidently was retroactive to the preseason. Last season, the Swede only had four points representing his point total over 48 NHL games, though he doled out 99 hits with 51 blocked shots over that span.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Lands on IR
The Avalanche placed Lindholm (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
Colorado has yet to release any specifics regarding a potential timetable for Lindholm's return to action, but he only totaled four assists in 48 games last season, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to concern themselves with his availability. Another update on the 23-year-old blueliner's status should surface once he's healthy enough to rejoin the active roster.

Avalanche's Anton Lindholm: Battles injuries in second season
Lindholm compiled four points, 99 hits and a plus-4 rating through 44 games in 2017-18.
Lindholm is far from being an offensive threat, having only fired 22 shots on goal and making no power-play presence. Still, the 23-year-old has adjusted well to the North American game -- he only played in Sweden until the 2016-17 campaign -- and stayed out of the AHL all season. However, Lindholm was hindered by two injuries (upper body and jaw), and he was also a healthy scratch for 20 of the final 21 games -- including playoffs.
