Hampus Lindholm: our analysis
2025-26 season: 67 GP, 5 G, 21 A, 26 PTS, +3 +/-, 21:37 TOI. WAR 1.2 (54th of 325) · PAL 79, very good.
In 2025-26, Hampus Lindholm, 32, posts a PAL Rating of 79 out of 100 (very good), and his WAR of 1.2 ranks 54th among 325 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: defense (92, among the best in the league), penalty kill (86, among the best in the league) and possession (82, well above average). On the other hand, discipline (9, among the weakest in the league) and power play (25, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+4.0); his biggest cost: penalties (-3.2).
A marked decline: his PAL was 91 in 2024-25, against 79 now; his WAR, though, went from 0.7 to 1.2.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 67 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Hampus Lindholm's story
Growing up in the Jonstorps IF system after being born in Helsingborg, Lindholm advanced quickly through Rögle BK’s youth ranks and made his first professional appearances in Sweden during the 2011–12 season. That year he earned recognition as the J20 SuperElit’s top defenceman, a distinction that helped raise his profile among NHL scouts and paved the way for his move overseas.
Selected sixth overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Anaheim Ducks, Lindholm began his North American career with the AHL’s Norfolk Admirals in 2012–13 before stepping into the Ducks’ lineup. He scored his first NHL goal on 6 November 2013 and, over his eight seasons in Anaheim, developed into one of the club’s regular top blueliners. His progression earned him a six-year contract extension announced on 27 October 2016.
With his contract winding down, Lindholm was traded to the Boston Bruins on 19 March 2022 in exchange for a 2022 first-round pick, two second-round picks (2023 and 2024) and two players. Boston promptly signed him to an eight-year extension the next day. In 2022–23 he played a key role during Charlie McAvoy’s early absence; the Bruins set a record with 65 regular-season victories, and Lindholm finished fourth in Norris Trophy voting and was named to the NHL Second All-Star Team. He later revealed he had played through a fractured foot during the playoffs.
The 2023–24 season saw a noticeable drop in his point totals and a lower-body injury in late February 2024 cost him games, but he raised his level during the 2024 playoffs, posting a goal and three assists in seven games in the first-round win over Toronto, including the tying goal in Game 7 and an assist on the series-clinching overtime goal. Early in the 2024–25 season he suffered a significant knee injury blocking a shot on 12 November 2024; placed on long-term injured reserve in January 2025, he was later diagnosed with a fractured patella and was unlikely to return for the remainder of that season.
Internationally, Lindholm won a silver medal with Sweden at the 2012 World U18 Championships and received game MVP honours in matchups against Finland and Switzerland; a concussion ruled him out of the 2013 World Junior Championships, and he made his Olympic debut for Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympics, appearing in three scoreless games. On the ice he is known as a two-way defenceman: reliable in his own end, a patient passer with strong skating and reading of the game.
