I've seen that statistic, but those charts seem pretty untrustworthy. According to that site, Andrew Shaw is one of the best forwards in the entire league. Just see for yourself.
They are advanced numbers. They are difficult to read on their own, and this is regularized adjusted plus minus (RAPM), which takes the already hard to understand numbers and throws them off a cliff and asks you to read the fine print written on them to understand them (If you don't fully understand what they are showing that is).
The chart says Lindell took lower % shots than his team did when he was on the ice vs off, and that he scored on a higher % of those shots than would be expected, but a lesser amount than his team would have done had Lindell been off the ice. That is a summation of the first two columns.
The off_Corsi column says that Lindell's team had more possession when Lindell was off the ice than on (ie his team was in the other teams end more without Lindell on the ice).
The argument I know you are about to make is that he is a DFD and that ofc he would be in his own end more.
That is not what is being measured. The stat is measured in a way that it shows possession of the puck, and so it means that Lindell cannot get the puck out of his end and into the other teams end as well as his team mates when Lindell is off the ice (aka without Klingberg doing it for him).
the DF_xGF column says that when Lindell was on the ice, his team allowed the other team to shoot from higher % areas (more dangerous areas) then when he was off the ice, but only by a bit more than his team would have allowed without him (this effectively shows how well a guy can keep opposition to the outside).
The DF_Corsi column shows that when Lindell was on the ice, the other team had the puck more and was in Dallas' end. It is the other side of column 3 essentially.
It means he was stuck in his own end worse than had he not been on the ice.
Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus (RAPM) means the following:
Regularized: A players performance on the ice...
Plus-Minus: ...vs his team when the player is off the ice
Adjusted: This accouints for things such as zone starts and quality of competition and quality of team mates (tl;dr: The chart is saying that Klingberg did all the heavy lifting)
On an aside, I always find it funny that those who comment saying the charts are bogus have little to no understanding of them. Literally every single time the commenter says something that easily exposes this. For example:

Zaistev is not a better D-man than Lindell lol
As I just explained, that is not what the chart says
