The Bruins’ beleaguered blue line is receiving some reinforcements on Tuesday.
Ahead of puck drop against the Islanders at TD Garden, the Bruins announced that defenseman Hampus Lindholm has been activated off of injured reserve.
To make room for Lindholm on the roster, the Bruins assigned defenseman Michael Callahan back to Providence.
Bruins head coach Marco Sturm confirmed Tuesday that Lindholm will return to Boston’s lineup against New York, with Mason Lohrei set to be a healthy scratch. Defenseman Jonathan Aspirot will also slot into the lineup and make his NHL debut.
Tuesday stands as Lindholm’s first game since Oct.
