Oskar Lindblom Receives Standing Ovation as Fans Return to Wells Fargo Center
It’s a moment we’ve all been waiting for and it finally happened on Sunday night. Oskar Lindblom, who was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in December 2019, took to the Wells Fargo Center ice with fans in the stands for the first time since his diagnosis. The moment wasn’t lost on the roughly 3,000 fans in attendance, who greeted Lindblom with a standing ovation:

For as great of a moment as that was, one has to imagine how massive it will be once the arena returns to close to full capacity.
