Lindberg was drafted in the 4th round, 102nd overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. He played junior in his native Sweden with Djurgårdens IF, before moving to North America to continue his career with the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League. Lindberg was a member of the team that won the 2015 Memorial Cup, assisting on the game-winning goal, scored in overtime by teammate Anthony Cirelli.

About to turn 20, Lindberg was not eligible to play in junior anymore, and thus signed his first professional contract with Ottawa on 16 June 2015, a three-year entry-level. Lindberg played the opening half of the 2015–16 AHL season with Ottawa's affiliate, the Binghamton Senators. After recording 22 points in 34 games with Binghamton, Lindberg was included in a blockbuster nine-player trade that saw himself, Jared Cowen, Colin Greening, Milan Michalek, a 2017 second round draft pick moved to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exhchange for Dion Phaneuf, Matt Frattin, Casey Bailey, Ryan Rupert and Cody Donaghey. Lindberg's AHL numbers up until the trade were considered impressive due to his rookie status and the Senators' position at the bottom of the standings (being third last at the time of his departure). Lindberg joined the Toronto Marlies, who were at the top of the AHL (leading the second placed team by 16 points at the time of the trade) and were favourites to win the 2016 Calder Cup.

Lindberg was one of twelve Toronto rookies to make their NHL debut in the final quarter of the 2015–16 season as part of the Maple Leafs youth movement. Lindberg was called up from the Marlies on 31 March 2016, and made his debut the same night in a 4-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, picking up an assist on the lone Toronto goal scored by teammate Brooks Laich. Lindberg's family flew from Sweden a few hours before the game started to witness the debut.
