History
2007-08: He jumped from his long time Brynas IF Gavle squad to Almtuna IS Uppsala. He saw limited action this season, appearing in just 18 games and posting a .905 save percentage. He was nominated to play for Team Sweden at the WJC where he played in two games and posted a .915 save percentage.
2008-09: Lindback made great strides. He moved up to the Eliteserien, and played in 24 games, posting a .916 save percentage and 2.57 GAA for Brynas. Played behind Jacob Markstrom.
Talent Analysis
Lindback's height is his best asset. He is quick though for a big guy.
"Lindback is closer to a Pekka Rinne-type, he's a hybrid," Predators goaltender coach Mitch Korn said. "He stays on his feet, but maybe not that long. He spends a lot of time on his knees, but I wouldn't call him a pure butterfly guy. He's got mammoth size, so on pucks that someone else would have to shrug their shoulder for example to stop, it will just hit him."
Future
Will remain in Sweden in 2009-10, but move to Timra.
