That was actually a perfect example of his game, didn't get a point but turned it from defense to offense.


Here's a an excerpt from a 2016 article about Lindholm:

"Fortunately, the advancement of underlying metrics has provided us with additional means of measuring the more subtle on-ice impact of lower-event defencemen who provide value in sequences not necessarily captured by a rudimentary box score.​
An excellent case study is Anaheim’s Hampus Lindholm, who has emerged as not only the most important member of his own team’s defence, but also as one of the game’s premier players at his position. He has helped the Ducks tear through the Western Conference since Jan. 1 and cement themselves as the bona fide Stanley Cup contender fans and pundits had them pegged as prior to the season. Yet from looking at a collection of traditional statistics, you certainly wouldn’t know it.​
Despite not registering big point totals or playing an overtly physical game, Lindholm’s complete command of the ice is felt throughout the Ducks lineup. Trying to glean meaningful information on blueliners purely from goal totals for and against on an individual level is an exercise laden with flaws."​

He has earned respect from his teammates in Boston quickly.

The fans love him also. His decision-making and position are intelligent and refined. He makes transition a breeze.
Does the little things very well and allows the players around him on the ice to focus on what they do best.

Helluva player.
