Bruins Place Hampus Lindholm on Injured Reserve With Timeline Unclear

The move places a key defender on IR pending further evaluation in Boston.

Overview

  • Coach Marco Sturm said Lindholm’s injury is not day-to-day and that he will be out for a little bit with no specific return date.
  • Lindholm remains with the team after an initial assessment and will undergo additional testing once the Bruins return to Boston.
  • The specifics and timing of the injury are unclear, as he logged 22:47 and an assist in Saturday’s overtime win in Vancouver.
  • Boston activated defenseman Henri Jokiharju off injured reserve, and forward Tanner Jeannot was described as a possibility to be cleared for Tuesday’s game in Seattle.
  • Lindholm has 3 goals and 11 assists in 34 games this season, and his absence looms large with seven games scheduled over the next 12 days following a 2024-25 kneecap fracture and earlier absences this season.
