DENVER, CO – The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has signed defenseman Anton Lindholm to a two-year contract.
Lindholm, 24, skated in two games with the Avalanche this past season and has four points (0g/4a) in 62 career NHL contests. He has 21 points (3g/18a) in 119 career American Hockey League games with the San Antonio Rampage and Colorado Eagles and has registered one point (1g/0a) in four AHL postseason contests.
CENTENNIAL, CO. – Adjusting to the play and style of NHL games is an ongoing process for veterans and rookies alike. There is always something to learn and something to work on as the players try to master their craft.
Rookie defenseman Anton Lindholm is deep in that development process as he prepares for his 20th career NHL game on Thursday, but he has received some extra help lately to aid in his transition to the league.
The 22-year-old has been playing with veteran rear guard Erik Johnsonfor the last two contests, which has allowed him to find his game in the fast-paced NHL.
“Playing with a guy like E.J., your own comfort level and your trust to your D-partner can’t get much higher than playing with a guy like that,” Lindholm said. “Obviously, I can play my game and feel comfortable that if I mess up or if I fail to do anything, I know E.J. is there for support.”
CENTENNIAL, Colo.–It’s only been four games, but Anton Lindholm is showing a certain sort of promise for the Colorado Avalanche.
The 22-year-old Swedish defenseman was recalled on March 13 and made his NHL debut on the 15th against the Detroit Red Wings at Pepsi Center. Since then, he’s continued to impress those keeping an eye on him.
It was just like old times Wednesday night at the Pepsi Center, where the Avalanche actually turned it on midway through the second period and knocked off Detroit 3-1.
Well, it was kind of like old times … sort of like old times … a little like old times?
