Bruins' Elias Lindholm Out for a Few Weeks With Lower-Body Injury

Boston will cover the vacancy in-house as it awaits MRI guidance.

Overview

  • Head coach Marco Sturm said Lindholm will miss a few weeks after leaving Thursday’s overtime win over Buffalo.
  • Lindholm is undergoing an MRI to refine the diagnosis and recovery timeline following the second-period injury.
  • Marat Khusnutdinov has been promoted to center the top line with David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie.
  • John Beecher will draw into the lineup on Saturday against the Hurricanes, and no recall is planned from AHL Providence.
  • The injury followed a collision with Buffalo’s Jordan Greenway, and Lindholm had opened the season with four goals and nine points, including four on the power play.
