Carl Lindbom (born 20 May 2003) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). Lindbom was selected in the seventh round, 222nd overall, by the Golden Knights in the 2021 NHL entry draft.
Lindbom played as a youth within DjurgÃÂ¥rdens IF organization before making his professional debut in the SHL in the 2021âÂÂ22 season. He was subsequently drafted in the 7th round of the 2021 NHL entry draft by the Vegas Golden Knights.
After earning the starting goaltending role for DjurgÃÂ¥rdens IF in the HockeyAllsvenskan in the 2022âÂÂ23 season, Lindbom was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the Vegas Golden Knights, on 1 June 2023. The following day he was loaned by the Golden Knights to SHL club, Färjestad BK, for the 2023âÂÂ24 season. Lindbom then spent the 2024âÂÂ25 season with Vegas' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights.
Following an injury to starting goaltender Adin Hill early in the 2025âÂÂ26 season, Vegas recalled Lindbom to the National Hockey League (NHL) for the first time in his career on 22 October 2025. Lindbom made his NHL debut for Vegas on 26 October, stopping 26 of 28 shots in a 2âÂÂ1 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. On 29 November, Lindbom recorded his first NHL win, stopping 18 of 21 shots faced in a 4âÂÂ3 victory over the San Jose Sharks. One day later, Lindbom was sent back down to the AHL, as the team recalled fellow goaltender Carter Hart in a corresponding move.
