Player Profile: Episode 3 – LW Oskar Lindblom
Oskar Lindblom is a gem of a player for any NHL team. He has all the assets of a player who is part of the overall Stanley Cup solution. From his offensive instincts around the net, to his very responsible two-way play, Lindblom is a coaches dream when it comes to doing the little things right. His work along the boards is what truly helps him excel at the NHL level. He isn’t going to beat most players with his speed, instead he’ll use his body positioning and quick stick to make a move and send the puck off to a playmaking teammate. That same skill-set comes into play around the net as he is ruthless around the crease and always manages to find a way to get a piece of the puck. As the Flyers roll through the 2019-2020 NHL season, Oskar has already shown that he’s hit another level in his NHL career.
