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. |
