Carl Lindbom

Playing career Lindbom played as a youth within Djurgårdens IF organization before making his professional debut in the SHL in the 2021–22 season. He was subsequently drafted in the 7th round of the 2021 NHL entry draft by the Vegas Golden Knights.

After earning the starting goaltending role for Djurgårdens IF in the HockeyAllsvenskan in the 2022–23 season, Lindbom was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the Vegas Golden Knights, on 1 June 2023. The following day he was loaned by the Golden Knights to SHL club, Färjestad BK, for the 2023–24 season. Lindbom then spent the 2024–25 season with Vegas' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights.

Following an injury to starting goaltender Adin Hill early in the 2025–26 season, Vegas recalled Lindbom to the National Hockey League (NHL) for the first time in his career on 22 October 2025. Lindbom made his NHL debut for Vegas on 26 October, stopping 26 of 28 shots in a 2–1 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. On 29 November, Lindbom recorded his first NHL win, stopping 18 of 21 shots faced in a 4–3 victory over the San Jose Sharks. One day later, Lindbom was sent back down to the AHL, as the team recalled fellow goaltender Carter Hart in a corresponding move.
