Lindstein notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
This was Lindstein's NHL debut, and he made an impact with a secondary helper on Jimmy Snuggerud's tally in the second period. The Blues have leaned on their top defensemen all season, so Lindstein's minutes are likely to be limited as long as he's in a bottom-four role. He had 13:39 of ice time Tuesday in his debut, and it's unclear how long he'll stick in the NHL this time around.

Blues' Theo Lindstein: Continues development in Sweden
Rotowire
Lindstein has three goals and six points in 35 appearances with Brynas IF of the SHL this season.
Lindstein has spent parts of three seasons playing in the SHL, which is pretty impressive given that he's still just 20 years old, and it's a men's league. The defenseman isn't known for his offensive contributions, but he has been productive against players in his age group. During the 2024 and 2025 World Junior Championships, Lindstein combine for two goals and 12 points across 14 outings with Team Sweden. The Blues selected him with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. Lindstein might be an important blueliner for St. Louis in the future, but he'll likely move from the SHL to the AHL instead of jumping straight into the NHL after shifting away from European hockey
