There is one route that the Bruins need to take with their injured defenseman.
When Hampus Lindholm was reported not to be on the Boston Bruins bench late in the first period against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night at the TD Garden, the worst-case scenario popped into fans' heads. His knee injury from last year was reinjured.
He did not come out for the second period, and it was posted during the middle period that he was not returning with a lower-body injury.
