Two of the biggest roster additions the Boston Bruins got this offseason were the returns of Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm on defense. That's not saying much and gives you an idea of just how underwhelming of an offseason GM Don Sweeney had.
After playing in the season opener after missing most of last season with a knee injury, Lindholm exited in the first period of the Bruins home opener one night later against the Chicago Blackhawks with a lower-body injury.
He missed three straight games before returning last Saturday night against the Colorado Avalanche on the road and played just under 21 minutes in the 4-1 loss.
