Esa Lindell News: Adds goal in big win

Lindell scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Canadiens.

Lindell ended a nine-game point drought with the second-period tally, which put the Stars ahead 2-0. The 31-year-old will have some lengthy slumps on offense, but his defensive work will keep his ice time high.
