First two points for Spartans
Lindstrom scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Michigan State's 4-2 win over Boston University on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The No. 3 ranked Spartans pulled off an upset in Boston over the No. 1 ranked Terriers, and Lindstrom's first two collegiate points were a major factor. The 19-year-old linked up with Michigan State in the offseason after battling a back injury that cost him nearly all of his WHL campaign with Medicine Hat in 2024-25. The key for Lindstrom will be staying healthy -- on talent alone, he's got plenty of potential after being the fourth-overall pick in 2024 to join the Blue Jackets' prospect pool.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to join Michigan State
Lindstrom, who has missed the entire 2024-25 campaign with a back injury, is expected to commit to Michigan State next season, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lindstrom racked up 27 goals and 19 helpers in 32 games with WHL Medicine Hat last year, but has yet to get on the ice this season due to his back problem. Making the jump to collegiate hockey should allow the 19-year-old center to play against tough competition without having to go pro following a missed season.
