Morning Skate: Swede dreams
Photo by Chase Agnello-Dean/NHLI via Getty Images Tuesday is here! The Bruins still aren’t playing, but one Bruin is now a former Bruin.
After being placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, Par Lindholm has gone home to play for Skelleftea AIK.
It was a quiet end to Lindholm’s NHL career, though you can’t really fault him for leaving: rather than being a taxi squad guy, he’s going home to get regular minutes.
And it really is a homecoming for him, as Lindholm grew up just 25 kilometers from Skelleftea in Kusmark, and spent parts of eight seasons playing for the team at various levels.
