defenseman Esa Lindell is doing both what is expected from him, and also something the NHL hasn’t seen in almost 15 years.for Dallas, something that’s been a common theme throughout his time with the Stars, but has averaged 4:27 of ice time per game on the kill, which would be the highest mark in the league since 2008-09.
A 6-3, 220-pound left-handed defenseman, he has been a part of the Stars’ PK for his entire NHL career. Since Lindell became a full-time NHL player in 2016-17, only two players have spent more time shorthanded than he has. “He’s a big, powerful man,” DeBoer said. “I think he’s built to play heavy, hard minutes. I don’t worry about that with him.”
“If it’s a faceoff, sometimes Nas looks at us and sees if we are OK to stay after 40 or 50 seconds,” Lindell said. “We spoke about that. They said if you’re gassed, because we want to pressure hard and be aggressive, then change. Sometimes, we have good clears and not let them set up so easily, that forced us to not work as much, then two minutes is possible.”
