Overview

• Hampus Lindholm, sidelined since November by a fractured kneecap and follow-up surgery, says he’s fully fit and will resume full duties at Bruins training camp.
• Calle Jarnkrok reports complete recovery from mid-season groin and sports hernia operations and will compete for playing time in Toronto’s camp.
• Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Detroit’s 2023 first-round pick, is slated to begin the season with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins instead of earning a Red Wings roster spot.
• Lindholm’s return restores a top-pairing blueliner for Boston after he missed most of 2024–25, strengthening a defense that struggled in his absence.
• Detroit general manager Steve Yzerman’s emphasis on extended AHL seasoning for his top prospects leaves no immediate opening for Sandin-Pellikka on the NHL blue line.
