Following practice yesterday, Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm ended up speaking out for the first time since going down with an injury.
In game 2 against the Chicago Blackhawks, Hampus Lindholm ended up leaving the game in the first period, and would not return.
The Bruins made an announcement during the second period stating that he had suffered a lower-body injury and would not be back.
UPDATE: Hampus Lindholm (lower body) will not return to tonight's game.
Since then, Lindholm has yet to appear in a game, but the Bruins got some good news yesterday.
Lindholm officially returned back to the ice with his teammates, wearing a regular jersey, but Sturm stated he is still considered day-to-day.
Now, Lindholm has finally spoken out on the injury.
Lindholm excited to be back with his teammates
Lindholm stated that he is excited to be back out there with the team, and that he is feeling better each day.
«It's nice to be out there skating again. Get some team skates in and be with the fellas. It feels better each day.» Lindholm said. «I've been feeling great before injury and stuff, so I have a good feeling overall with the group, with my game, with Marco and everyone, so I am excited to be back.»
Along with that, he also spoke on Jordan Harris' play while replacing him in the lineup.
Harris was placed into the lineup whenever Lindholm went down with an injury, and his play may cement him a full time roster spot whenever Lindholm returns.
«He's been unbelievable. Such a good player,» Lindholm said of Harris. «I think overall, we've been showing that Bruins hockey that we want to play. We just have to stick to it over 60 minutes every game, and we're going to frustrate teams. It's been fun.»
