• Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Tallies in blowout loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Lindholm scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Hurricanes. Lindholm ended a five-game point drought with his tally. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to four points, 23 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 11 appearances. Lindholm has finished with a minus rating in just three seasons in his career -- while his offense isn't always particularly strong, he's an excellent defender, so his struggles this year can at least partially be attributed to the Bruins' team-wide problems.

• Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Earns two points in win

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Lindholm scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche. Lindholm set up a David Pastrnak tally at 9:09 of the second period and then scored a goal of his own, which was the game-winner, just 13 seconds later. Through five contests, Lindholm has three points, 13 shots on net, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He's seeing steady top-four minutes as well as some power-play time. The 30-year-old defenseman was limited to 26 points in 73 regular-season outings a year ago, but that was just one season after a career-best 53-point effort, so he should be capable of landing somewhere in middle of those two marks in 2024-25.

• Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Key role in Game 7 win

  05/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lindholm scored a goal on six shots and added an assist in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7. Lindholm's tally in the third period provided a quick response to William Nylander's opening goal. In overtime, Lindholm dumped in a pass that caromed perfectly off the boards to David Pastrnak, who deked around Ilya Samsonov for the series-clinching goal. Lindholm concludes the first round with four points, 12 shots on net, six hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven appearances. He'll continue to see top-four minutes and will likely be tasked with a shutdown role in the second round against the Panthers.

• Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Good start in playoffs

  04/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lindholm registered an assist through 25:03 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 3. The stalwart defenseman has two helpers in this series after failing to pick up any points at all through 11 playoff games dating back to his previous two seasons with the Bruins. Lindholm took a step back offensively in the regular season, dropping from 53 points (10 goals, 43 assists) in 2022-23 to 26 points (three goals, 23 assists) this time around, though a lower-body injury caused him to miss nine games before he returned with two apples in a March 9 contest. Fantasy managers still hanging around for playoff pools should view Lindholm as a serviceable option as long as the B's remain in playoff contention.

• Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Chips in with helper

  04/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lindholm recorded an assist, two hits, a plus-3 rating and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1. Lindholm snapped a five-game point drought with the assist. The 30-year-old defenseman helped out on Brandon Carlo's tally in the second period. Lindholm returned to his career norms in 2023-24 with 26 points, a plus-18 rating, 99 shots on net, 100 blocked shots and 63 PIM over 73 appearances after posting a 53-point season in 2022-23. He'll play in a top-four role throughout the postseason, but he shouldn't be expected to generate consistent offense.
