Blackhawks Claim Lindstrom Off Waivers from Ducks

The Chicago Blackhawks announced on Friday that they have claimed right wing Joakim Lindstrom off waivers from the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks had acquired Lindstrom over the summer in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Last season, Lidstrom played in 25 games, scoring three goals and adding four assists for seven points with the Blue Jackets. This is a decent move for the Blackhawks, as Lindstrom has the potential to become a top-six winger. If that is the case, the Blackhawks will have added another top-notch young player to their roster.
