FWIW, Lindholm's underlyings are basically the best on the team.
When he's on the ice at 5x5 they are outscoring opponents 37-23. He plays 24 minutes a night, usually against the other teams top lines. He's top 4 in expected goals against/60, shots against/60, scoring chances and high danger chances against/60 and only gets 41% ozone starts. I guess PIM's are up but he's playing almost a minute more per game this year than last. His points are down compared to last year but that's probably an outlier, he's right in line with what he was doing most of the time in Anaheim.
I don't know. I don't see how he's a liability or in need of time off when they are +14 with him on the ice at even strength and +7 at all strengths.
