Overview
- The lower-body issue is believed to be a hamstring pull and the team says it is unrelated to his surgically repaired kneecap from last season.
- Lindholm was injured Oct. 9 in the second game, briefly returned Oct. 18 in Denver, and has not played since despite practicing with the team.
- Boston recalled 26-year-old left-shot defenseman Jonathan Aspirot, who would make his NHL debut if he plays after recording 1-2—3 in five games for Providence.
- Providence call-up Michael Callahan covered minutes in Saturday’s win, and coach Marco Sturm said Jordan Harris is expected to be out for an extended period.
- Under NHL rules, players on injured reserve can return seven days after their most recent game, leaving Lindholm eligible once he is deemed fit as Boston visits Ottawa on Monday and hosts the Islanders on Tuesday.
