Bruins’ Elias Lindholm Exits vs. Sabres With Lower-Body Injury

No timetable has been announced, leaving Boston to assess how to fill the top-line center role.

Overview

  • Lindholm collided with Buffalo’s Jordan Greenway at center ice in the second period of Thursday’s home game.
  • He was treated by the training staff, required help from Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm to leave the ice, and did not return.
  • Boston ruled him out at the start of the third period with a lower-body designation.
  • Through 12 games, he has four goals and nine points, all four goals on the power play, and a 57.1% faceoff win rate.
  • If he misses time, Pavel Zacha is viewed as the likely internal option to center the top line, and Providence’s Matt Poitras could be recalled after posting six assists in seven AHL games.
