It was just revealed that Hampus Lindholm has been given the green light to once again appear in games.

The Bruins have activated Hampus Lindholm off IR and assigned Mike Callahan to Providence.
according to this report, Lindholm has the "green light" to return to the Bruins lineup tonight.
Lindholm has missed the last eight out of nine games for the Bruins and getting him back is going to be huge.
He ended up returning to the lineup on October 18th to face the Colorado Avalanche, but since has been removed and has not reappeared in a game.
Now, the Bruins are set to get him back, and it's going to be game changing for them.
The Bruins haven't only missed his presence out there, but also the leadership that he brings to the ice with him.
Fans calling for defensive pairing changes
With Lindholm returning back to the lineup, fans are now calling for the Bruins to make some changes to their defensive pairings.

Now that the #NHLBruins have activated Hampus Lindholm and sent Michael Callahan back to the @AHLBruins, IMO it's time to abandon balanced D pairings and go:
Lindholm - McAvoy 24 min.
Zadorov - Jokiharju 22 min.
Lohrei - Peeke 14 min.
Lindholm - McAvoy 24 min.
Zadorov - Jokiharju 22 min.
Lohrei - Peeke 14 min.
It will be interesting to see what Sturm does with his roster tonight.
