Lindsay played in 777 NHL regular season games, scoring 83 goals and 141 assists for 224 points and picking up 922 penalty minutes. On Saturday, April 27, 1996 Lindsay scored the winning goal to give the Panthers their first-ever playoff series victory. The Florida Panthers eventually made it all the way to the Stanley Cup finals in the 1995–96 NHL season, losing to the Colorado Avalanche in four games. Lindsay was also a part of the Hamilton Bulldogs team that made it all the way to the Calder Cup finals in 2003 but then lost to the Houston Aeros in a seven game series by a score of 4–3.

Lindsay suffered a life-threatening throat injury in what proved to be his final NHL game on January 3, 2004.

He then moved to the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in Germany for the Kölner Haie. He is now the radio color commentator for Florida Panthers home games and an analyst appearing across NHL Network's programming.
