Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Dishes three helpers in win
Rotowire
Lindholm collected three assists in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
The 29-year-old has had a rough start to his Bruins tenure, and Wednesday's outburst was a welcome sight after Lindholm has produced a meager one goal and five points over the last 20 games. He was a point-a-game player as recently as 2021-22 for the Flames, but Lindholm has yet to show many hints of that form in the first season of his seven-year, $54.25 million contract with Boston.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Gets first goal in 18 games
Rotowire
Lindholm scored the game's only goal in a 1-0 win over Utah on Thursday.
It came on the power play in the second period. It was the first time Lindholm had found the back of the net since Oct. 12, a span of 18 games. He has just 10 points, including three goals, in 21 games this season after signing with the Bruins for seven years and $54 million over the summer. Lindholm looks more like the player he was in Vancouver (26 games; six goals, six assists) after last year's trade than when he was in Calgary (49 games; nine goals, 23 assists) in the early part of the year. Or even the player he was his previous two seasons in Calgary when he tallied 146 points, including 64 goals, in 162 games. That's bad news for the Bruins and fantasy managers, who have both expected a whole lot more.
Lindholm notched an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
Lindholm is starting to heat up -- he has a helper in each of the last three contests. The 29-year-old center saw a season-high 21:12 of ice time Sunday as the Bruins nursed a lead from the first period to the finish line. Lindholm hasn't been consistent on offense, but he has two goals, six helpers, 18 shots on net, 21 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 13 contests overall while playing in all situations.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Registers helper
Rotowire
Lindholm logged an assist and won 14 of 22 faceoffs in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Lindholm began his Boston career with five points over three games, but he turned cold with a seven-game point drought before finding the scoresheet Thursday. The center has six points, 17 shots on net, 21 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 11 appearances. His defensive work will keep him in a top-six role, but Lindholm hasn't displayed enough consistency or chemistry with the Bruins' other top forwards to be fully trusted in fantasy.

Lindholm scored a goal on one shot, recorded two assists, blocked two shots and delivered one hit in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.
Lindholm redirected a Nikita Zadorov blast for his first goal as a member of the Bruins. He has points in both games thus far. The 29-year-old center signed a seven-year deal with Boston during the offseason and is expected to maintain a top-line spot while seeing time on the first power-play unit.
Lindholm (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's exhibition contest versus Philadelphia, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Lindholm will finally make his preseason debut after sustaining an injury on the first day of training camp. He produced 15 goals and 29 points across 75 regular-season appearances between Calgary and Vancouver in 2023-24. Lindholm will play on the first line and should see action on the top power-play combination during the 2024-25 campaign.
Lindholm (undisclosed) was absent from Tuesday's practice and won't see any preseason action this week, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Lindholm was initially supposed to skate Monday, but an undisclosed injury sustained on Day 1 of training camp has kept him off the ice. He will remain day-to-day ahead of Boston's final three exhibition contests before Opening Night versus Florida on Oct. 8. Once healthy, Lindholm will be on the top line and first power-play unit during the 2024-25 campaign.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Not practicing Friday
Rotowire
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.
