Lindstrom With A "N"

     On Thursday, February 6th, Defenseman #28 Gustav Lindstrom made his debut for the Detroit Red Wings.  The pronunciation of Lindstrom's name will surely be botched by the media, and confused with former Detroit Red Wings Defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom.  This is ironic because the media consistently mispronounced Lidstrom's name as Lindstrom during his 20 year career with the Detroit Red Wings.
     Gustav Lindstrom was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2nd round (38th overall pick) of the 2017 NHL (National Hockey League) Entry Draft.  Lindstrom played the 2018-2019 season for the Frolunda Indians of the SHL (Swedish Hockey League).  Lindstrom played for the Grand Rapids Griffins this season, and recorded 5 assists in 45 games.
