Lindholm was suspended 5 games for this hit which is equivalent to 8 NHL games given how the SHL season is only 52 games. He was also fined over $7,000 USD.
Lindholm played 66 NHL games, all with the Avalanche, but eventually left to play in Sweden.
"The hit involves a great risk of injury and is disrespectful."
