There is another Bruin<\/a> going to Milan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning, the Swedish Ice Hockey Association announced<\/a> that Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm<\/a> has been added to the 2026 Olympic roster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lindholm has three goals and 13 assists in 39 games played with the Bruins this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His 68 blocked shots are the fourth most on the team. He averages 22:04 of ice time per game and has played on both the power play (avg. 1:35 per game) and penalty kill (avg. 2:56 per game) this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lindholm represented Sweden most recently at the 2018 IIHF World Championships; he had six assists in 10 games. He was named to the Tre Kronor at the 2013 World Junior Championships, but did not play due to a concussion<\/a>. He also played at the 2012 U18 Championships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lindholm was added to replace Niklas Kronwall at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey;<\/a>\u00a0he did not appear in a game. He suffered an injury in November 2024, which kept him out of contention for the 2025 Four Nations Face-Off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He will replace an injured Jonas Brodin<\/a>. Brodin, who plays for the Wild, is having surgery on a lower-body injury and is set to miss 6-8 weeks<\/a>, he has not played since Jan. 12.<\/p>\n

Also joining Lindholm in Sweden is former Bruin Marcus Johansson<\/a>. The Minnesota Wild forward has 34 points in 48 games this season, and has been playing on a one-year contract worth $800,000.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Johansson is replacing Anaheim Ducks forward Leo Carlsson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hampus Lindholm now joins seven Bruins already named to Milan. Elias Lindholm<\/a> will also be representing Sweden. Henri Jokiharju<\/a> is playing for Team Finland. Charlie McAvoy<\/a> and Jeremy Swayman<\/a> will represent the United States, and David Pastrnak<\/a> and Pavel Zacha<\/a> were named to Team Czechia over the summer. Also, Bruins prospect Dans Locmelis<\/a> will be playing for Latvia.<\/p>\n

The Bruins have four more games before the break and will close out this stretch of the season on the road in Florida. The Bruins fly down for a Stadium Series game in Tampa, then travel to Sunrise for a game against the Panthers on Wednesday, Feb. 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n
