Lindell has been the team's best PKer for a bit now, and while he's not perfect, and can give you quality minutes.
Lindell has played a lot on the PK. That doesn't make him good. Here is his shot quality defense from season to season (per hockeyviz):
2020-2021: xGA/60 8.02
2019-2020: xGA/60 7.26
2018-2019: xGA/60 7.32
2017-2018: xGA/60 6.08
2016-2017: xGA/60 8.02
His best season in bold only broke average compared to the typical minute munching PK'er. Turns out, maneuverability can be important in the defensive zone. "If he's a good hitter why doesn't a hit good?"
