Lindholm was held out of practice Friday due to general soreness, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Lindholm's spot on the top line between David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha was taken by Matthew Poitras at practice. Coach Jim Montgomery said the move to keep Lindholm off the ice was precautionary. Lindholm had only 15 goals and 29 assists in 75 regular-season games split between Calgary and Vancouver last year, but the 29-year-old has had a couple of big seasons during his 11-year NHL career, including 42 goals and 40 assists in the 2021-22 campaign.
