Last season, Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm was injured in November of 2024 against the St. Louis Blues when he blocked a shot, killing a penalty. That was the last time he was seen for the 2024-25 season, as it turned into a season-ending injury.
That injury likely cost Hampus Lindholm a spot on Sweden's 4 Nations Face Off team last February and an opportunity to join Bruins teammate Elias Lindholm. It was a major setback not only for Hampus Lindholm, but Boston.
After returning fully healthy for the 2025-26 season, Hampus Lindholm was hoping to play for Sweden in the Olympics in February.
