Lindback was sent down to AHL Milwaukee on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lindback -- who is making his second stint with the Predators -- will be a familiar name for Admirals fans as he previously played for Milwaukee from 2010-12. The former seventh-round pick will likely spend the bulk of the year in the minors splitting time with Mat O'Connor.

Lindback will start Sunday's preseason tilt against Columbus, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The big Swede last played in the NHL during the 2015-16 campaign and is hoping a return to Nashville -- where he enjoyed two successful seasons as Pekka Rinne's backup -- will rejuvenate his career. While Lindback is currently toiling as the organization's third or fourth goaltender, it's certainly within the realm of possibility for Lindback to play himself into an NHL role in 2017-18.

Lindback signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators on Saturday, per CapFriendly. The deal is worth $650,000 in the NHL but just $100,000 in the minors.

EDGE Analysis

His name should ring a bell for hockey enthusiasts that followed the NHL between 2010-16. Lindback had stints with the Predators, Lightning, Stars, Sabres and Coyotes, respectively, before joining Rogle BK in his home country this past season. A career backup, Lindback has a 45-58-8 record to go along with a 2.87 GAA and .904 save percentage over 130 career NHL games.

Lindback will remain on the active roster for AHL Ontario as the team has retracted its press release saying he had been released from his PTO, Lindsay Czarnecki of LA Kings Insider reports.

EDGE Analysis

It turns out that Lindback will retain his job after all as the Kings continue to deal with injuries to their goalies. Regardless, this whole debacle should serve as a reminder that Lindback isn't likely to make much of a fantasy impact this season.

Lindback was released from his professional tryout agreement with AHL Ontario on Thursday, Dhiren Mahiban of The Canadian Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

When Jonathan Quick went down with a long-term groin injury in late October, the Kings brought Lindback in on a PTO with AHL Ontario in an attempt to bolster their depth at goaltender. The team ultimately wasn't in need of the 28-year-old's services in net, and thus decided to cut ties with him Thursday. Lindback will hope to get another offer from an NHL club's AHL affiliate, but may need to head overseas in hopes of continuing his professional hockey career.

Lindback signed a professional tryout agreement with the Kings on Tuesday, Sportsnet's John Shannon reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings are starved for help between the pipes with their top two goalies -- -- including fantasy stud Jonathan Quick -- on injured reserve with their respective groin injuries. Lindback appeared in 19 games with the Coyotes last season, but he was frequently lit up as the following numbers show: 5-7-1 record, 3.11 GAA and .894 saver percentage.

Lindback will not sign with the Devils after playing with the team on a PTO, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Lindback didn't make the cut in New Jersey after filling a need for depth in the preseason. He'll roam the free agent market for the start of the season in search of a goalie-needy team.

Lindback inked a professional tryout agreement with New Jersey on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lindback finished out the 2015-16 season on injured reserves with an Achilles injury for the Coyotes. With Cory Schneider participating in the World Cup of Hockey, the Devils were lacking netminder depth for training camp. With Keith Kinkaid cemented in the relief role, the 28-year-old Lindback will likely use the tryout to show teams in need of a goalkeeper that he is healthy and could come in as a quality back-up option rather than landing a permanent job with New Jersey.

Lindback (Achilles) has been placed on injured reserve, according to the NHL Media Site.

EDGE Analysis

Lindback had already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2015-16 season, so his placement on injured reserve shouldn't come as much of a shock. The backup netminder for the Coyotes, the 27-year-old didn't perform well enough or play consistently enough to be considered in fantasy leagues, and neither should his replacement (Niklas Treutle). Now that he's done for the season, Lindback will set his sights on rehabbing for the 2016-17 campaign.

As expected, Lindback will undergo surgery on his injured Achilles tendon Friday, and will miss the remainder of the season, Craig Morgan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although a definitive timetable for Lindback's recovery has yet to be released, the 27-year-old netminder may have a difficult time returning to full health before training camps open next season. He's also set to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2015-16 campaign, and it isn't clear how much attention, if any, he'll garner on the open market. Lindback will likely hope to secure a backup spot with a goaltender needy club, as he didn't play well enough this season to warrant consideration as a starter, compiling a 5-7-1 record with a 3.11 GAA and .894 save percentage in 19 appearances.
