RHD- Jesper Lindgren, , 22, 6’1, 176
AHL (GP; 30, G; 1, A; 5, PTS; 9)
Four months into the season and again not much has changed with Lindgren. This isn’t to say that Jesper hasn’t been developing, Jesper has battled injury and getting opportunities.
When coming over from European ice to North American, there is always going to be some difficulties. Luckily, Jesper plays exactly how the Toronto Maple Leafs play, meaning his door will always be open for opportunities, especially by being a right handed defenceman.
Lindgren doesn’t appear to be currently in the Marlies lineup, potentially due to an injury.
ETA; 2022-23, It’s hard to project Lindgren’s development here, fortunately he plays the Leafs style of hockey and is a right handed defenseman, both bode well for him.
Scouting report; Lindgren plays a silky smooth game, he is mobile and smart with puck moving. He’s a hybrid of Anton Stralman and a poor man’s Erik Karlsson.
