Doomsday 4,130 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Lindbergh Mired In Sophomore Slump TORONTO - Following a highly successful rookie season in which Oskar Lindbergh recorded a save percentage of .916% and helped to lead the Toronto Legion to a playoff series win over the Los Angeles Stars, expectations were sky-high for the Swedish goaltender heading into Season 82. With a better defensive core in front of him and skilled forwards, it seemed that Lindbergh was poised for a great season. So far, however, that hasn't been the case at all. Following Toronto's 8-0 start to the season, Lindbergh has majorly struggled, going just 2-6-2 in that span, with his save percentage nearly dropping below .900% and his goals allowed average pushing 4.00. However, following the Legion's 3-2 shootout win over the Helsinki Titans, in which Lindbergh posted 54 saves on 56 shots, along with stopping all three Helsinki skaters in the shootout, there is hope that this big performance could translate to a big turnaround. "It has been very rough lately," admitted Lindbergh following a team practice. "Feeling as if you are the reason your team keeps losing will really wear you down. You keep trying harder and harder to make up for it, just to dig yourself into an even deeper hole. But that win against Helsinki, that felt great. I want to ride that momentum and turn my season around, because my teammates are counting on me to back them up." Lindbergh gets his shot to build on that momentum and break out of the funk in his native home of Sweden against the HC Davos Dynamo.
