Lindblom found the twine to end a five-game drought and set up a goal in a 5-2 win over the Kings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
First, the good news: Lindblom is still getting a solid amount of ice time, skating 14:18 in Thursday's contest. However, he still has just five points now and his shooting percentage of 14.3 percent will not last. He should be on most dynasty rosters, and feel free to take a chance in daily leagues if he's at a good price, but otherwise, he's not worth a spot in most formats

Lindblom scored the Flyers' first goal of the season in a 5-2 victory over the Golden Knights on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Golden Knights actually scored first, but Lindblom got the Flyers on the board about halfway through the first period. It was the first of five straight goals for the Flyers. Lindblom played well during the preseason, and he's now carrying that into the games that matter. Definitely keep an eye on him in deeper leagues.

Lindblom was loaned to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
A 2018 AHL All-Star, Lindblom will be a welcome addition to a Phantoms team that is currently even in their series with Providence after two games. Despite being just 21 years old and having 23 NHL contests under his belt, Lindblom is a proven scorer in the professional ranks, logging 47 points in 52 games with Brynas of the Swedish Hockey League in 2016-17 and 34 points over 54 contests in Lehigh Valley this season.

Lindblom recorded a beautiful assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom stalled at the high slot and slid the puck toward fellow rookie Nolan Patrick for his third apple of the season. The Swede has enjoyed some glory moments in the infancy of his NHL career, and fantasy owners shouldn't overlook the fact that he seized a power-play role right out of the gate. Lindblom should be highly owned in keeper pools, but he's also sneaking into consideration for the late rounds of redraft leagues.

Lindblom scored a goal and logged 12:52 of ice time during Sunday's 6-3 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie winger has now registered a point in consecutive games after missing the scoresheet in each of his first 12 NHL contests. He's been skating on an intriguing line with Nolan Patrick and Jakub Voracek at five-on-five, so there's potential for Lindblom to continue posting respectable offensive numbers moving forward. Don't forget the 21-year-old Swede has already proven himself as a solid scorer in both the SHL and AHL.

Lindblom was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday. However, it was a paper move to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
There were quite a few young players who were moved in transactions like this on Monday. The 21-year-old Lindbolm is expected to be called right back up after receiving his eligibility for the Calder Cup playoffs. In fact, the Swede could be recalled as soon as Tuesday.

Lindblom logged 15:11 of ice time (1:25 with the man advantage) during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
This was the 21-year-old Swede's NHL debut. He posted 41 points -- 18 goals -- through 62 games in the AHL dating back to last year, and he also had a standout showing in the SHL with 22 tallies and 25 helpers over 52 games last season. His most frequent linemates at five-on-five during Tuesday's game were Scott Laughton and Michael Raffl, but receiving power-play time is definitely encouraging. Additionally, if Travis Konecny (foot) is forced to miss time, Lindblom could see more favorable minutes. It's still likely best to take a wait-and-see approach in most fantasy settings, though.

Lindblom was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Last season Lindblom helped Brynas IF make their run to the SHL finals, posting 47 points (22 assists, 25 goals) in 52 games -- the fourth best points pace in the entire SHL -- and has spent this season adjusting to North American hockey, notching 34 points (16 goals, 18 assists) in 54 games in the minors. Although with the Flyers' offense in sync lately, it's unlikely he gets a spot in the top six despite his offensive potential. Lindblom still boasts a strong two-way game despite needing to work on his skating, and could earn playing time immediately over Dale Weise or Jori Lehtera.

Lindblom has 12 goals and 26 points through 37 games for AHL Lehigh Valley.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom started training camp this season in a top-six role with fellow youngster Nolan Patrick, but he couldn't impress enough to make the final cuts. He's currently tied for second on his squad in points, but with the Flyers beginning to figure things out, it may be a while before he gets the call up to the big club. His minor-league stats speak for themselves, though, so he'll get his shot soon enough.

Lindblom was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lindblom got a chance to compete for a top-six role during training camp, but he did not show enough to make the cut and was ultimately beaten out by fellow rookie Nolan Patrick. While Lindblom will not open the year with the Flyers, it seems likely he will get a chance to show what he can do with the club at some point this season.
