Hampus Lindholm's season is in jeopardy as Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney announced that the defenseman is "unlikely" to return this year following knee surgery. Lindholm is scheduled to undergo another procedure next week due to complications from a fractured patella tendon, an injury sustained while blocking a shot from Justin Faulk of the St. Louis Blues. This season, the All-Star has recorded three goals and four assists in just 17 games, reflecting a minus-4 rating. With a career total of 313 points over 762 games, Lindholm's absence could significantly impact the Bruins' defensive lineup.
