Lindholm scored a goal, added five hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.
Lindholm has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. The center has struggled as a Canuck following his trade from the Flames, but he'll still see more all-situations ice time than his third-line role would suggest. Lindholm had 15 goals, 44 points, 173 shots on net, 87 hits, 61 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 75 regular-season appearances.

Lindholm missed seven games with the injury and will return to a third-line role. The 29-year-old will play alongside Phil Di Giuseppe and Ilya Mikheyev. Lindholm has nine points over 22 contests with the Canucks, but he should be a fixture in the lineup going forward as long as he stays healthy.

Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Not ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
Lindholm (wrist) may still be an option versus the Coyotes on Wednesday, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
Lindholm could be nearing a return to action following his seven-game absence due to his wrist injury. The 29-year-old center has been limited to just one goal in his last 16 contests while recording a mere 18 shots. At this point, whenever Lindholm is cleared to play, he could struggle to break into a top-six role.

Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Snaps seven-game slump
Rotowire
Lindholm provided an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Lindholm ended a seven-game point drought by setting up a Conor Garland tally in the second period. It doesn't help that Lindholm has been on the third line for most of the time that Dakota Joshua (upper body) has been out. Lindholm has 39 points, 155 shots on net, 70 hits and a minus-12 rating over 65 contests between the Canucks and the Flames, but he's earned a more modest seven points across 16 outings since he was traded to Vancouver.

Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Offers helper in win
Rotowire
Lindholm posted an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Lindholm had gone without a point over the last three games since he scored twice in his Canucks debut. The 29-year-old is still moving around the lineup a bit -- he's played as a right wing alongside Elias Pettersson most of the time but has also centered J.T. Miller on occasion. Lindholm should be fine in either role given the talent around him. The 29-year-old has 35 points, 140 shots on net, 56 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 54 contests between the Canucks and the Flames this season.

Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Lights lamp twice in Canucks debut
Rotowire
Lindholm scored two power-play goals in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.
In his Canucks debut following a Jan. 31 trade from the Flames, Lindholm made an immediate impact by tipping home Quinn Hughes shots in the first and second periods. Lindholm was already picking up his scoring pace for Calgary prior to being dealt, and in 14 games since the beginning of January he's collected three goals and 11 points. The 29-year-old looks like he'll be a fixture on the top power-play unit and in a top-six role for his new club.

Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Dealt to Vancouver
Rotowire
Lindholm was traded from the Flames to the Canucks on Wednesday in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo, a 2024 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick.
This trade signals two things -- the Canucks are going for it and the Flames are rebuilding. Lindholm will be a top-six fixture for Vancouver, and he should benefit from playing around a higher quality group of forwards both at even strength and on the power play. It's unclear if Lindholm will play at center or move to right wing with Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller in the fold. Back in Calgary, look for Nazem Kadri to function fully as a top-line center while Kuzmenko should be involved in the top six as well.

Rotowire
Lindholm logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Lindholm has five assists over his last five games, with three of those helpers coming on the power play. The 29-year-old is still stuck in a 12-game goal drought.
