2. Center Elias Lindholm ranked in the 83rd percentile in high-danger shots on goal (60) last season with the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks but only the 59th percentile in high-danger goals and was below the 50th percentile in high-danger shooting percentage.
But Lindholm scored two goals on six high-danger shots on goal in the 2024 playoffs, a sign he could bounce back this season after signing a seven-year contract with Boston on July 1. He has a chance to be the No. 1 center and play with an elite linemate or two in wings David Pastrnak and/or Brad Marchand.
Lindholm had his best season for Calgary in 2021-22 (NHL career highs 42 goals, 82 points) as part of a potent line with wings Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau. He ranked among the best in shots on goal (92; 95th percentile) and goals (17; 92nd percentile) from high-danger areas that season.
