The Bruins are going to be without their top-line center for at least a solid stretch of games moving forward.
Speaking on Friday, Bruins head coach Marco Sturm confirmed that center Elias Lindholm is “going to be out for at least a few weeks” after exiting Thursday’s overtime win over the Sabres with a lower-body injury.
Sturm added that Lindholm — who appeared to injure his knee after awkwardly colliding with Sabres forward Jordan Greenway at center ice during the second period — will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the injury.
Lindholm needed help getting off the ice on Thursday after skating into Greenway, with the 30-year-old pivot needing help from both Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm to get off the ice and down the tunnel.
