Pär Lindholm (born 5 October 1991) is a Swedish professional ice hockey centre currently playing for Ak Bars Kazan of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Playing career[]

Lindholm made his professional debut with Skellefteå AIK in the Elitserien during the 2009–10 Elitserien season.

In the 2017–18 season, Lindholm established himself as a dominant center in the Swedish Hockey League, scoring 47 points in 49 regular-season games as well as 11 points in 16 playoff games for finalists Skellefteå AIK.[1]

On 17 May 2018, having gained NHL attention, Lindholm signed as an undrafted free agent to a one-year, entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.[2][3]

After attending the Maple Leafs 2018 training camp, Lindholm made the opening night roster to begin the 2018–19 season. He made his NHL debut against traditional rivals the Montreal Canadiens in the Maple Leafs 3–2 overtime victory on 3 October 2018.[4] Playing as the Maple Leafs fourth-line center, Lindholm recorded his first career NHL goal on 13 October 2018 in a 4–2 win over the Washington Capitals.[5] He appeared in every game for the Maple Leafs leading up to the trade deadline, contributing 12 points in 61 games before he was dealt to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Nic Petan on 25 February 2019.[6]

On 1 July 2019, Lindholm joined his third NHL club, signing as a free agent to a two-year, $850,000 contract with the Boston Bruins.[7] In the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, having featured in just 1 regular season game with the Bruins, while predominately serving as a healthy scratch, on February 14, 2021, Lindholm was placed on unconditional waivers for the purposes of contract termination by the Bruins after agreeing to a multi-year contract to return to his original Swedish club, Skellefteå AIK.[8][9]

Upon completion of the 2020–21 season with Skellefteå AIK, having collected 6 points through 12 playoff games, Lindholm left the SHL in agreeing to a one-year contract with Russian club, Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL, on 19 May 2021.[10]
