Anders Lindback's deal with Finland's Ilves Tampere has ended. Lindback has been recovering from a knee injury, but he should start skating again "in a couple of days." He plans to wait to see what the fate of the 2012-13 NHL campaign will be before deciding if he wants to sign a new European contract. He'll battle with Mathieu Garon for playing time with the Tampa Bay Lightning if the season's saved.
