Perspective
Before beginning his professional career, Lindblad attended Dartmouth College, where he spent three seasons (2010–2013) playing NCAA Division I hockey with the Dartmouth Big Green. Throughout 89 games, he recorded 29 goals, 51 assists, and a total of 80 points, while accumulating just 8 penalty minutes.[1]
On April 5, 2013, the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League signed Lindblad as a free agent to an entry-level contract.[2] On February 24, 2014, the Bruins recalled Lindblad from their AHL affiliate in Providence,[3] only to be returned to the AHL without seeing NHL action. He finally made his NHL debut on March 15, 2014, playing left wing on the Bruins' fourth-line in a 5–1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.[4]
On July 1, 2015, Lindblad departed the Boston Bruins as a free agent and inked a one-year, two-way contract with the New York Rangers.[5] During the 2015–16 season, he was plagued by multiple injuries, which restricted him to only eight appearances with the Rangers’ AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Following the conclusion of his contract with the Rangers, Lindblad chose to retire from professional hockey. On September 15, 2016, the Boston Bruins announced that he would be rejoining the organization in a new role as a professional scout.[6]
