Scouting Report

Strengths: Is positionally sound and finds a
way to see most pucks coming his way. Quick reflexes and good agility help
him make the big saves. Great glove hand.
Weaknesses: Seems content to stay in Sweden.
The Habs are stacked with prospect goalies and Heino-Lindberg hasn’t
out-played them up to this point.
Projected Role: Has the potential to become a back-up in the NHL, but don’t count on it.
Will likely seek success in Sweden and internationally instead.
