Playing career In 2009-10, Lindström only played one game with Skellefteå's junior team as he suffered a knee injury during team practice. The injury was so serious that it required surgery and forced him to focus on rehabilitation for the rest of the season.

Lindström made his North American debut the following season, playing with the Panthers' secondary affiliate, the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL for the duration of the 2012-13 ECHL season.
