The Calgary Flames are rumored to want to trade Elias Lindholm.
The Swedish star responded by scoring a goal and two assists.
– We played better and worked well in our series, we are coming now, he says.
Elias Lindholm was named man of the match as the Vancouver Canucks were defeated at home in Alberta by a score of 5-2.
The goal into an empty net at the end of the match was his first in eleven matches.
-It’s easy to read. When Elias Lindholm plays, he has tremendous speed through the central area. “We’ve seen it over and over again in this game, when he skates it works for him,” head coach Ryan Houska said.
The 28-year-old right-handed shooting center is out of contract after six successful seasons with the Calgary Flames.
This puts the club at risk of losing him on a free this summer.
This applies to the entire quartet of Nikita Zadorov, Chris Tanev, Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm.
Last week, it was reported that Nikita Zadorov demanded a tripling of his number.
Listen to bids
Recently, Canadian network TSN reported that they had heard from several clubs that the Calgary Flames were listening to offers for Elias Lindholm.
Negotiations between the Calgary Flames and Elias Lindholm have stalled.
The club must be ready to reboot the squad and make big changes.
They should be interested in earning from these contracts.
However, there’s no rush when they have until the March 8 trade deadline to find the best replacement.
Despite high ambitions, the Calgary Flames have struggled in recent seasons, and this fall is off to a slow start once again.
New goal by Elias II
Elias Pettersson made it 1-0 for the Vancouver Canucks on a game by JT Miller and Quinn Hughes.
The trio is at the top of the National Hockey League standings with 27 points each.
Nils Hoglander scored the Vancouver Canucks’ second goal of a game that now stands at four complete hits in 15 games.
Jacob Markstrom played well for the Calgary Flames’ second straight game after an injury layoff, making 22 saves.
– We are one of the teams in the league that has to work harder than others to win. We’re starting to understand that, says Elias Lindholm.
Mikael Backlund also had an assist for the home team.
