GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings have recalled defenseman Gustav Lindstrom from the Grand Rapids Griffins.
In his first season in North America, Lindstrom, 21, has recorded five assists and 26 penalty minutes in 45 appearances for Grand Rapids. Lindstrom became the 184th Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL when he debuted with Detroit on Feb. 6 at Buffalo. He has skated in 10 games for the Red Wings and totaled 10 PIM while averaging 16:20 of ice time.
Lindstrom was selected in the second round, 38th overall, of the 2017 NHL Entry Drafty by Detroit.
The 6-foot-2, 187-pound blueliner helped Frolunda win the Swedish Hockey League championship during the 2018-19 campaign after posting six points (3-3-6) and 50 PIM in 40 regular season games and skating in six postseason contests.
A native of Ostervala, Sweden, Lindstrom spent four seasons (2014-18) developing in Almtuna's system. He suited up in 87 games with Almtuna IS from 2016-18 in Sweden's second-tier league and totaled 23 points (8-15-23) and 60 PIM while also recording 14 points (6-8-14) in nine games in the Swedish under-20 junior league from 2015-17 and compiling 51 points (20-31-51) in 59 games in the under-18 circuit from 2014-16.
Lindstrom helped Sweden win the silver medal at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship and he also represented his country at the 2017 IIHF Five Nations Tournament.
