Lindstrom's a fearless, inventive, inside-driven puck carrier, willing to bury the shoulder while darting down the wing or swashbuckle his way through defenders as he carves his way between the hashmarks. The combination of his speed and his size confers to him a massive defensive range, and the high-running motor that he plays with acts as the force multiplier that takes it even further. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
