Gustav Lindström (born 20 October 1998) is a Swedish ice hockey defenceman for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] He has previously played for the Detroit Red Wings.

Playing career[edit]

Lindström was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings with the 38th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. On 25 May 2018, Lindström signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Red Wings.[2] On 5 February 2020, Lindström was recalled by the Detroit Red Wings. Prior to being recalled, he posted five assists in 45 games for the Grand Rapids Griffins.[3] He made his NHL debut the next day in a game against the Buffalo Sabres.[4]

On 17 August 2020, Lindström agreed to return to former Swedish club, Almtuna IS of the Allsvenskan, on loan until the commencement of the delayed 2020–21 North American season.[5]

On 26 July 2021, Lindström signed a two-year, $1.7 million contract extension with the Red Wings. During the 2022–23 season, he recorded one goal and seven assists in 36 games for the Red Wings. On 1 July 2023, Lindström signed a one-year contract extension with the Red Wings.[6]

On 15 August 2023, Lindström was traded by the Red Wings, along with a conditional 2025 fourth-round pick, to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Jeff Petry.[7]
