Mattias Lindström (born March 21, 1991) is a Swedish ice hockey player.[1] He is currently playing with Clemensnäs HC of the Division 2. Lindstrom was drafted 88th overall in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Carolina Hurricanes.
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.[2]
On January 18, 2012, Lindström was traded by the Hurricanes to the Florida Panthers, along with Jonathan Matsumoto, in exchange for Evgenii Dadonov and A.J. Jenks.[3]
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. In the final year of his NHL contract with the Panthers, his season was wiped out as he was unable to play with a hip injury.
On July 10, 2014, Lindström returned as a free agent to Sweden, signing a one-year deal with the ambition to re-establish his professional career with Piteå HC of the Hockeyettan.[4]
