Hampus Lindholm has plenty to smile about these days.
The Bruins defenseman and his fiancée, Amanda, welcomed their first child, Magnolia, last week.
“My fiancée — her family … they work with plants and flowers and stuff, and that’s always been her favorite tree,” Lindholm said of the meaning behind his daughter’s name. “And funny story — randomly, we ended up getting engaged underneath a magnolia tree. … I love the name, and it’s actually been sticking since we knew we were having a girl. So it feels right.”
So far, the 31-year-old blueliner hasn’t had too many sleepless nights — even if he expects that to change in short order.
