Elias Viktor Zebulon Lindholm, born on December 2, 1994, is a Swedish professional ice hockey player, playing for the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round (5th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and played his initial five NHL seasons with them. Notably, Lindholm holds the distinction of being the youngest Swedish-born player to score a goal in the NHL.
Lindholm made his debut during the 2013-14 season and went on to establish himself as a household name in the following seasons. His trade to the Calgary Flames in 2018 was followed by a six-year contract. However, Lindholm was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forward Andrei Kuzmenko, unsigned defence prospects Hunter Brzustewicz and Joni Jurmo, and first-round and conditional fourth-round picks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Moreover, in his debut game for the Canucks, he joined an elite list of players, becoming just the fifth player to score two goals for the Canucks on their debut. On 1 July 2024, Lindholm signed a seven-year $54,250,000 contract with the Boston Bruins.
