Just weeks after ringing the bell for his last round of cancer treatment, Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom now has something else to celebrate.
The Flyers announced Wednesday that Lindblom has agreed to a three-year contract extension with an average annual value of $3 million. Lindblom was set to become a restricted free agent following the conclusion of the season.
Lindblom, who turns 24 next month, was putting together a breakout campaign for the Flyers before being diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma in December. In 30 games during the 2019-20 regular season, he collected 11 goals and seven assists for 18 total points and was the Flyers’ goal-scoring leader at the time of his diagnosis.
