Elias Lindholm grew up in Gävle, Sweden and played for Gävle Godtemplares IK in his youth . At the age of 14, he moved to the youth department of Brynäs IF for the 2009/10 season , where he played for the U16 and U18 teams in his first season. The following season he made his debut in the J20 SuperElit , the highest Swedish junior league. There he achieved his breakthrough in the 2011/12 season when he was the best scorer of all U18 players with 49 points from 36 games. He was also named the best striker in the league.

Although he remained without a point in a total of 14 missions, he finally became the Swedish champion with the team . In the 2012/13 season he moved permanently to the Elitserien and was the youngest player in the Brynäs IF squad. With 30 points from 48 games, he was also the team's third-best scorer and the best scorer among the Elite Series Juniors. In the election for Rookie of the Year in the Elitserien, however, he was defeated by William Karlsson .

In the 2013 NHL Entry Draft , Elias Lindholm was selected in the first round in fifth position by the Carolina Hurricanes . This made him the second highest drafted European behind the Finn Aleksander Barkov .

On July 15, 2013, Lindholm signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Hurricanes. After the training camp, he made the jump into the NHL squad and made his debut on October 4, 2013 against the Detroit Red Wings . Six days later he scored his first NHL goal in beating the Washington Capitals .

After five years in the organization of the Hurricanes, Lindholm and Noah Hanifin were handed over to the Calgary Flames in June 2018 . In return, Dougie Hamilton , Micheal Ferland and Adam Fox moved to Carolina. A little later, the Swede signed a new six-year contract with the Flames, which should bring him an average annual salary of 4.85 million US dollars. He then recorded his best career record to date in the 2018/19 season with 78 points from 81 games and was then awarded the Viking Award , which honors the best Swedish player in North America.
