Surprising Player Got Placed On The Waiver Wire Today

Defenseman Gustav Lindstrom finds himself on waivers as the Montreal Canadiens make a significant roster move.

Lindstrom, in his fifth NHL season, has contributed three goals and four points in 14 games this season, averaging just over 15 minutes of ice time. Originally making his debut with the Detroit Red Wings in the 2019-20 season, Lindstrom joined the Canadiens' organization in August, part of the trade that sent Jeff Petry to the Red Wings.


Despite being out of the lineup since December 9th, Lindstrom has faced challenges, including a brief stint in the AHL's Laval Rocket. The Canadiens' decision adds intrigue to Lindstrom's future.
