The Flyers placed Lindblom (COVID-19 protocols) on non-roster injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom has resided in the protocol since Friday, as he's one of six Flyers players in the protocol. The Swede has been decent prior to his addition, producing four points in 13 games. Lindblom will need to be added back onto the roster before he's eligible to play in game action again.

Lindblom was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Friday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom is one of six Flyers players in the league's COVID-19 protocol. The Flyers aren't scheduled to play again until Thursday's matchup against the Rangers, but that outing remains uncertain. Lindblom produced four points over 13 games prior to his addition to the COVID-19 list.

Lindblom (illness) was held off the scoresheet but logged 17:30 of ice time and had two hits in Thursday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Islanders in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom was back in action for the first time since Dec. 7, making his return from a Ewing's sarcoma diagnosis in December. He was immediately placed on the Flyers' power-play unit and played three-and-a-half minutes with the man advantage. Lindblom's stat line Thursday was rather irrelevant; the fact that he was even back in the lineup undoubtedly provided the Flyers with an emotional lift. The 24-year-old had 11 goals in 30 regular-season games prior to falling ill and adds another offensive weapon to the Flyers lineup heading into Game 7 on Saturday.

Lindblow (illness) is on the ice for warmups and will play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
This is monumental news for the Swede, who was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December, and will make his first return to the lineup since Dec. 7. The 24-year-old winger may be a bit rusty in his return to the ice, and he's expected to handle a bottom-six role in his return to the lineup.

According to coach Alain Vigneault, Lindblom (illness) will participate in warmups ahead of Tuesday's Game 5, but he's likely still a few days away from returning to game action.
EDGE Analysis
The Flyers are facing elimination Tuesday, but if they're able to pull off a win, it's possible Lindblom will be ready to return before Philadelphia's second-round series with the Islanders comes to an end. The 24-year-old winger hasn't played since being diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December.

Lindblom (illness) took the ice for warmups Sunday but will not suit up for Game 4 against the Islanders, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Just seeing Lindblom out on the ice is a terrific sign after he was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December. While he's not ready for real game action yet, it looks like he could be ready to play sometime this series.

Lindblom (illness) is expected to take warmups Sunday, although it's unclear if he'll play in Game 4 versus the Islanders, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom was pictured preparing for the game, and his jersey was hung up in his locker as if he would at least take warmups. This is encouraging news for the forward that rejoined the team on the ice Aug. 18 for the first time since being diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December. Even if Lindblom doesn't play Sunday, it's reasonable to believe he'll be back in the lineup soon.

Lindblom has completed the NHL's mandatory self-quarantine and rejoined the team, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom didn't provide many details about his timetable to return after he was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December, but the Swedish forward expressed how much it meant to him to be with his teammates after recovering from the illness. He'll likely ease back into workouts and on-ice training, but it'll likely be awhile before he suits up for a game again.

Lindblom (illness) has entered the bubble in Toronto and is currently going through the NHL's mandatory self-quarantine, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom hasn't practiced with the Flyers since he was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in December, so he'll undoubtedly need some time to get back up to speed following his self-quarantine, but the fact that he may be available at all during these playoffs is miraculous in and of itself. The 23-year-old winger picked up 11 goals and 18 points through the first 30 games of the regular season before being diagnosed with his illness.
