The Blues traded Lindstrom and a conditional 2016 sixth-round draft pick to the Maple Leafs on Monday in exchange for forward Olli Jokinen. With the Blues' forward ranks at full health, Lindstrom had been forced to serve as a regular scratch over the last few weeks. The move to Toronto should provide a clearer path to ice time, but Lindstrom will first need to showcase some sustained production before warranting intrigue in most fantasy formats. Even when he's seen action with the Blues this season, Lindstrom hasn't done much with the opportunity, producing only three goals and three assists over 34 games.

Lindstrom is expected to suit up in place of Steve Ott (illness) Thursday against Detroit, report Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Disptach. Lindstrom has only six points in 28 games this year and has had a hard time cracking the lineup of late. This will be his first game in January. He will likely return to the press box when Ott is healthy.

Lindstrom scored a pair of power-play goals in the waning minutes of Tuesday's win over Buffalo. The goals represent Lindstrom's first points since he recorded his only other point of the season, an Oct. 11 goal against Calgary. And while the power-play goals are nice, he's playing on the second unit and seeing bottom-six time at even strength.

Lindstrom (illness) says he is well enough to play, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com. Coach Ken Hitchcock has not said whether he will be in the lineup Saturday. Lindstrom missed one game with an illness that bothered a number of the Blues. The Swede has one goal in eight games this year.

Lindstrom scored a goal in the first minute of Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Flames. The goal was Lindstrom's first at the NHL level since Oct. 13, 2011, after the 30-year-old spent the previous three seasons playing in his native Sweden. Lindstrom has been seeing most of his duty alongside Paul Stastny and Alexander Steen on the second line, but he'll typically play far fewer minutes than either of those two established fantasy stars.

Lindstrom will start the year on a line with Jaden Schwartz and Jori Lehtera, according to coach Ken Hitchcock, reports Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Lindstrom had a strong camp and meshed well with Lehtera. His quick adaptation to the NHL could make him an interesting sleeper in fantasy leagues.

Lindstrom has been seeing time at right wing on the Paul Stastny-Alexander Steen line during training camp and could end up settling in with the two once the regular season starts, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Playing alongside top-flight scoring talents like Steen and Stastny would be a boon for Lindstrom, who seemed to enter camp on the outside looking in for a roster spot. Lindstrom, 30, last played at the NHL level in 2011-12, before playing full-time in his native Sweden the past two seasons. Given his limited track record of NHL duty, Lindstrom's odds of winning a top-six role with the Blues wouldn't seem especially strong, but the situation is still one to monitor. Lindstrom could represent an intriguing end-game target if the arrangement will Steen and Stastny ends up materializing.
