On July 30, 2020, Lindbohm agreed to a one-year contract with EHC Biel to remain in the National League for the 2020–21 season.[7]

Following his third season in the NL, Lindbohm left as a free agent and returned to his original club, Jokerit, now of the KHL on a two-year agreement on 5 May 2021.[8] In the 2021–22 season, Lindbohm playing in a top-four shutdown role registered 3 goals and 8 points from the blueline, helping Jokerit to a second place finish in the regular season.
