Lindblom (illness) was included in the team's 31-man playoff roster Sunday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom recently signed a new three-year, $9 million contract with the team after he was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December. The Swede had skated in a top-six role for the club through the first 30 games of 2019-20, picking up 11 goals and 18 assists. It's unclear whether he'll be ready to play in game action when the NHL's season resumes Aug. 1.

Lindblom (illness) signed a three-year, $9 million contract extension with the Flyers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom was having a breakout season of sorts before being diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December and subsequently missing the remainder of the campaign, picking up 11 goals and 18 points while skating in a top-six role through the first 30 games of 2019-10. The 23-year-old winger likely won't take part in this year's expanded playoffs, but he's already been skating on his own, and he's expected to be 100 percent healthy when next season's training camp gets underway, whenever that may be. He'll be a sneaky good pick in the later rounds of next year's fantasy drafts as an under-the-radar player with 30-goal and 50-point upside.

Lindblom (illness) won't be available if and when the NHL's proposed 24-team playoff gets underway, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December and has been undergoing treatment in the Philadelphia area ever since. While the 23-year-old winger took a huge step forward in his recovery by resuming skating Tuesday, it's safe to assume he's still a long way off from being cleared for game action. While the Flyers are chasing the Stanley Cup, Lindblom will continue to work toward a potential return in 2020-21.

Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher said Monday that Lindblom is "doing well" as he continues to recover from a rare bone cancer, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December, the 23-year-old continues to go through treatment in the Philadelphia area and has been in touch with the organization regarding his recovery. Even with the NHL season having been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, the Flyers aren't counting on Lindblom playing again in 2019-20 and remain focused on his long-term health more than anything. The young winger put up 11 goals and seven assists in 30 games before he was moved to long-term injured reserve.

Lindblom has been diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom's hockey career will be placed on the back burner as he turns his focus to battling his illness. The 23-year-old Swede will likely be placed on long-term injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

Lindblom (upper body) won't play Saturday against Minnesota, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Flyers have yet to release a projected timetable for Lindblom's recovery, but he'll need to return to practice before he'll be considered an option to rejoin the lineup, so he can be considered out indefinitely until that occurs. David Kase will continue to round out Philadelphia's depth up front until Lindblom's given the green light.

Lindblom will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Avalanche due to an upper-body injury, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom's absence will leave a significant hole up front for a Flyers squad that had been clicking offensively recently, tallying four or more goals in four of their last five games. The expected length of his absence has yet to be revealed, so it's best to consider the third-year winger questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Wild until more information surfaces. David Kase will replace him Wednesday.

Lindblom scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom's goal, his team-high ninth of the year, gave the Flyers a 3-0 lead 12:20 into the second period. While that lead eventually evaporated, it was another productive night for Lindblom. The 23-year-old has eight points (3g, 5a) in nine November games after an eight-point October. He's tracking to obliterate the 17 goals and 33 points he registered in 81 games last season.

Lindblom picked up an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom set up Travis Konecny for the game's opening goal in the first period. The helper continues a remarkable start for the Swedish winger, who has 14 points in 17 games in his third campaign. He's added 38 shots on goal and 19 hits, providing a little supplemental value outside of the regular scoring categories.
