Charlie McAvoy ended up revealing earlier in the off-season that the Boston Bruins were entering the season with no captain, but today they gave defenseman Hampus Lindholm a new role.
After Brad Marchand ended up leaving the Boston Bruins organization, the Bruins weren't sure if they were going to announce a captain to replace him.
Well they sort of did, but not in the way that was expected.
Instead of announcing an official captain, the Boston Bruins ended up announcing a new assistant captain ahead of their season opener.
This morning, the Boston Bruins announced that defenseman Hampus Lindholm is entering the season wearing the third "A" on his chest.
Along with Lindholm, both David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy are still wearing the "A" as well.

Newly named alternate captain Hampus Lindholm leads the post skate stretch.
It will be interesting how the Boston Bruins do with him being a leader on the team.
Last season, Lindholm was a key player for the Boston Bruins, and when he went down with his season ending injury, it affected the Bruins.
