Lindgren scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren tallied at 4:27 of the third period, and that goal was the game-winner. The 27-year-old defenseman has had little success on offense this year, as his shutdown playing style mixed with the Kraken's poor team-wide scoring has left little room for him to contribute. He's now at five points, 25 shots on net, 18 hits, 57 blocked shots, 39 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 33 appearances.

Lindgren posted an assist, five blocked shots and four PIM in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren ended a 10-game point drought with the helper. The defenseman has seen steady top-four minutes in a shutdown role on the second pairing this season. He's at four helpers, 20 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 37 PIM, 16 hits and a minus-3 rating over 29 appearances. Lindgren's offense has always been limited, and that's been exacerbated by the Kraken's scoring struggles.

Lindgren has earned just two points over 15 games since the start of November, and he was held off the scoresheet in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren has three helpers, 18 shots on net, 14 hits, 39 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 25 outings this season. The 27-year-old's playing style is heavily defensive, though his physicality appears to be trending down this year as well. Nonetheless, the Kraken have kept Lindgren mainly on the second pairing as a counterbalance to the more talented Brandon Montour.

Lindgren (upper body) is in the lineup for Monday's road game against Philadelphia, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren was hit in the face with a puck in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs, but he'll avoid missing his first game of the season. The 27-year-old will fill his usual spot on the second pairing in addition to serving on the penalty kill.

Lindgren (upper body) sustained an injury in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Toronto, per Sound of Hockey.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren was struck in the face by the puck late in the third period. Seattle recalled Ville Ottavainen from AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday as a potential replacement for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The 27-year-old Lindgren has one assist and 14 blocked shots across five games this season.

Lindgren posted an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren has opened the season in a top-four role to begin his time with the Kraken. He has a helper, one shot on net, two hits and nine blocked shots through three outings. The 27-year-old shutdown defender will probably be a regular in the lineup throughout the year, but his role is likely to shrink once Ryker Evans (upper body) is ready to return from injured reserve.

Lindgren (eye) has been a full participant in practice since Wednesday, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren took a puck to the face Sunday and sat out a few days, but it sounds like he's fine now. The 27-year-old defenseman could be an option to dress for Friday's preseason game versus the Canucks. Even if he sees limited preseason action, he's unlikely to miss the regular-season opener Oct. 9 versus the Ducks.

Lindgren is day-to-day with an eye injury, but head coach Lane Lambert expects the defenseman to be back with the team "in the near future," per Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren took a puck to the face in Sunday's scrimmage, and his eye swelled up as a result. The 27-year-old skated on his own Tuesday and is making progress with his recovery, so he shouldn't be in danger of missing too much time. The Kraken signed Lindgren to a four-year, $18 million deal in free agency.

Lindgren agreed to terms on a four-year, $18 million contract with Seattle on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren crossed the 20-point threshold for the first time in his career after splitting the 2024-25 campaign between the Rangers and the Avalanche. After his move to Colorado, the 27-year-old blueliner struggled to produce offensively with just three points in 18 regular-season games -- though he did manage three points in just seven playoff contests. A lack of power-play responsibilities will prevent Lindgren from being anything more than a mid-range fantasy target.

Lindgren produced an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren set up a Nathan MacKinnon tally early in the third period. The helper was Lindgren's third over seven playoff contests, and he added 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in the Avalanche's short postseason run. He was acquired from the Rangers in March, but it's possible the Avalanche viewed the 27-year-old as a pure rental. Lindgren had a career-high 22 points over 72 regular-season outings and will be one of the better shutdown defensemen available in free agency this summer if he makes it to the market.
