The injury occurred in the second period, with Lindholm missing a rotation with linemates Morgan Geekie and David Pastrnak before making his way down the tunnel. <\/p>\n<p>After the game, Bruins head coach Marco Sturm did not have much clarity when it came to Lindholm&#8217;s status just yet. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot yet,&#8221; Sturm said when asked if he had an update. &#8220;He\u2019s going to do some testing [Wednesday] morning. Unfortunately, he got hurt there.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Lindholm finished the game with 11:03 of time on ice, and had one shot and wins in seven of his 10 faceoffs prior to leaving the game.<\/p>\n<p>And this latest injury for the do-it-all center could not come at a worse time for Lindholm, all things considered, as he&#8217;s currently on what feels like his most impactful run since joining the Bruins in 2024. <\/p>\n<p>Over Boston&#8217;s last 14 games, Lindholm has scored six goals and totaled 14 points, five of which have come on the surging Boston power play. <\/p>\n<p>Only David Pastrnak (28 points) and Charlie McAvoy (16 points) have been more impactful over that run, while Lindholm&#8217;s 14 points are the 36th-most among all NHLers over that run. These haven&#8217;t been &#8217;empty calorie&#8217; points for Lindholm, either, as the Bruins have posted a league-best 23 points behind an 11-2-1 record over that 14-game sample. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hopefully, hopefully it\u2019s not going to be too bad for us, and of course [Lindholm is] looking forward to the Olympics,&#8221; Sturm noted. &#8220;But I really don\u2019t know, so I can\u2019t give you an answer yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With Lindholm unavailable, the Bruins moved Fraser Minten up the lineup and between Geekie and Pastrnak on the Boston top line. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And right at the top of their roster, with top-line center Elias Lindholm taken out of play with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[154,95,5132,530,4512,5,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-432172","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-boston","9":"tag-boston-bruins","10":"tag-bostonbruins","11":"tag-bruins","12":"tag-elias-lindholm","13":"tag-hockey","14":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115971828196770684","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
