According to Bodin, the 5’11, 187-pound left-handed pivot started his SHL career in lower-roster roles before moving onto a top scoring line in the past few seasons for Skellefteå AIK. Lindholm played over 19 minutes a game in 2017-18, primarily on a line with Oscar Moller and Joakim Lindstrom, and amassed 47 points (18g,29a) in 49 games to finish fourth in the SHL scoring race. He then added a further 11 points in 12 playoff games. He also represented Sweden in the Olympics in South Korea in February, notching one goal in four tournament games.
