Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Set for extended absence
Hampus Lindholm is expected to miss "weeks," according to head coach Jim Montgomery, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports Wednesday.Lindholm was chipping in solid offensive numbers prior to getting hurt, notching two goals and two assists in his last seven outings. Now, the 30-year-old blueliner figures to be sidelined for at least the rest of November given his "weeks" timeline. The team recalled Jordan Oesterle from AHL Providence on Wednesday and will likely deploy him in a third-pairing role during Lindholm's absence. Fantasy players can probably expect Lindholm to be placed on injured reserve in the next few days in order to free up a roster spot.

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.
