Matt Lindblad
American ice hockey player
Matthew Maurice Lindblad (born March 23, 1990) is an American professional ice hockey scout and former player. A forward, he played four games with the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Before beginning his professional career, Lindblad attended Dartmouth College, where he spent three seasons (2010–2013) playing NCAA Division I hockey with the Dartmouth Big Green. Throughout 89 games, he recorded 29 goals, 51 assists, and a total of 80 points, while accumulating just 8 penalty minutes.
On April 5, 2013, the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League signed Lindblad as a free agent to an entry-level contract. On February 24, 2014, the Bruins recalled Lindblad from their AHL affiliate in Providence, only to be returned to the AHL without seeing NHL action. He finally made his NHL debut on March 15, 2014, playing left wing on the Bruins' fourth-line in a 5–1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
On July 1, 2015, Lindblad departed the Boston Bruins as a free agent and inked a one-year, two-way contract with the New York Rangers. During the 2015–16 season, he was plagued by multiple injuries, which restricted him to only eight appearances with the Rangers’ AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Following the conclusion of his contract with the Rangers, Lindblad chose to retire from professional hockey.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Matt Lindblad” as american ice hockey player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as american ice hockey player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15966480. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2010, 2013 and 2014.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
