Bruins Place Elias Lindholm on IR, Recall Alex Steeves

The move formalizes a week-to-week absence stemming from his Oct. 30 collision with Jordan Greenway.

Overview

The injured-reserve placement is expected to be retroactive to Oct. 30, when Lindholm left a game against Buffalo with a lower-body injury.
Lindholm, 30, had four goals, five assists and a 57.5% faceoff win rate through 13 games before being sidelined.
Boston has used Marat Khusnutdinov as the first-line center between David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie, and the team has won three straight.
Alex Steeves earned the call-up after posting three goals and five assists in nine AHL games; he signed a one-year deal with Boston after clearing waivers in October.
The Bruins visit the Maple Leafs on Saturday night, setting up a potential appearance for ex-Leaf Steeves against his former club.
