The Bruins have activated Hampus Lindholm off injured reserve ahead of their game against the Chicago Blackhawks at 8 pm.
With Lindholm back, the B’s assigned Billy Sweezey, who had been recalled on an emergency basis after Andrew Peeke left Thursday’s game against Seattle with a lower body injury, to Providence.
Peeke’s availability remains a question mark, though coach Marco Sturm indicated after the morning skate that he was doubtful for Saturday’s game.
Lindholm has been out since suffering an undisclosed injury in the B’s victory over the Canucks in Vancouver on Jan. 3.
