Overview

  • The Bruins brought back defenseman Billy Sweezey under emergency conditions after Henri Jokiharju was designated a non-roster player due to a family matter.
  • Boston’s active roster remains at 23 following the move.
  • Sweezey had been reassigned Saturday to clear space when Hampus Lindholm came off injured reserve and re-entered the lineup in a 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
  • Andrew Peeke is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, creating the possibility that Sweezey could make his Boston debut as soon as Tuesday against the Stars.
  • Lindholm had missed six games with an undisclosed injury sustained Jan. 3 and has averaged over 22 minutes per game this season with 14 points in 34 appearances.
