The Canadian placed defenseman Gustav on waivers on Tuesday with the apparent goal of getting him playing time with the Laval Rocket, his school team in the American Hockey League (NHL).
The Swede hasn't played in a National League game since December 9, when the Habs visited the Buffalo Sabres. He has remained in the press box ever since. With the Montreal team this season, Lindström collected three goals and one assist in 14 games, while the difference was 0.
If he goes unclaimed, the former Detroit Red Wings could be available for the Rockets' duel against the Utica Comets at Place Bell scheduled for Wednesday evening. The 25-year-old skater completed a total of four meetings with the affiliate between 2023 and 2024.
