According to the team over at SinBin.vegas, the Vegas Golden Knights have reassigned netminder Carl Lindbom to the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights. The transaction reduces the Golden Knights’ active roster to 22 players.
Lindbom, 22, was originally recalled on January 9th after Carter Hart went down with an injury. He only appeared in one game during the recall, stopping 18 of 20 shots against the San Jose Sharks in a win on January 11th. Throughout the 2025-26 campaign, he has managed a 2-4-2 record in eight games with Vegas, with a .873 SV% and 3.00 GAA.
Yesterday, after placing Hart on the injured reserve, the Golden Knights activated Adin Hill, giving Vegas three healthy netminders on the roster. Hill barely backstopped the Golden Knights to a win against the Toronto Maple Leafs last night.
After being assured that Hill was healthy and having a need to accrue more cap space, Vegas had little need to keep Lindbom on the roster moving forward. If they want to fill out the open roster spot, it’ll likely come in the form of recalling a depth defenseman. The Golden Knights currently only have six healthy defensemen available.
Meanwhile, Lindbom will return to AHL Henderson, where he’s spent much of the last two years. He has proven to be a formidable backstop since joining the North American professional circuit last season, owning an AHL record of 24-18-7 in 48 games with a .916 SV% and 2.51 GAA, including five shutouts.
