It has been four days since Boston Bruins first-line center Elias Lindholm took a heavy hit at center ice from Buffalo Sabres forward Jordan Greenway. It was in the second period of last Thursday night's 4-3 overtime win over their division rivals from Western New York when the injury occurred.
You knew it wasn't going to be good news when you saw Lindholm needing help to get off the ice as soon as the injury occurred. After the game, head coach Marco Sturm said that his top center would be sidelined week-to-week. He went for an MRI on Friday, and on Monday, the Black and Gold's head coach gave an injury update, and it went as expected.
