Lindblom scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom's goal came five seconds after Mason Shaw's major penalty for kneeing Evgeny Svechnikov expired. Both of Lindblom's tallies this season have come in the last seven games, but he hasn't recorded an assist since Nov. 11. The winger remains firmly in a bottom-six role with six points, 30 shots on net, a minus-10 rating and 29 hits through 33 contests. Given his lack of offense, he could occasionally end up being healthy scratched.

Lindblom scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom snapped an 11-game point drought with his first goal of the season. In that span, he went minus-5 with 11 hits and 8:03 of ice time per game. The 26-year-old's limited usage on the Sharks' fourth line has led to virtually nothing in the scoring department, as he's at five points, 27 shots, 25 hits and a minus-7 rating in 27 appearances this season.

Lindblom registered an assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom ended an eight-game point drought when he set up Evgeny Svechnikov's first-period tally. The encouraging sign is Lindblom has stayed in the lineup throughout his slump -- he's been a healthy scratch just once this season, so he's outperforming the Sharks' other depth forwards. The 26-year-old has four assists, 18 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating through 15 appearances.

Lindblom (upper body) was a full participant at Friday's practice, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom missed a few days of practice due to an upper-body injury, but he was never expected to be sidelined for long. The 26-year-old winger is expected to see middle-six usage with the Sharks in 2022-23.

Lindblom is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom will miss Wednesday night's preseason game versus the Kings at a minimum. The 26-year-old winger, who picked up 12 goals and 26 points through 79 appearances with the Flyers last season, should see middle-six minutes for the Sharks this year.

Lindblom signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Sharks on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom will likely slot into a bottom-six role for San Jose in 2022-23. The 25-year-old winger picked up 12 goals, 26 points and 127 shots while averaging 13:48 of ice time through 79 appearances with the Flyers last season.

Lindblom was placed on waivers by the Flyers on Tuesday for the purpose of the team buying out his contract.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom registered 12 goals, 14 assists and 83 hits while averaging 13:48 of ice time, so there should be plenty of interest in his services on the open market, assuming he goes unclaimed. In the Swede's five campaigns, he has reached the 30-point threshold just once but could do so again if he signs with a more offensively minded team.

Lindblom (undisclosed) is expected to suit up Friday against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom will take warmups Friday but, barring a setback, he should be in the lineup. The 25-year-old has 22 points while averaging 14:13 of ice time through 62 games this season. He should return to a middle-six role.

Lindblom will not be in action versus the Blues on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom has just one point in his last seven outings but likely was in line for an expanded role following the departure of Claude Giroux at the trade deadline. While it doesn't sound serious, the Flyers don't have anything to play for at this point, so there is no reason to risk Lindblom to further injury. In his stead, Hayden Hodgson will make his NHL debut while the team deploys 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Lindblom scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's matchup with Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom has lit the lamp in his past two contests. This comes after a three-game point drought, and after a four-game point streak prior to that. Lindblom has 10 goals and 21 points in 55 outings this year.
