Boston Bruins' Marco Sturm makes statement on Elias Lindholm's injury
An update was reported on Saturday by Sturm himself:
«He's having an MRI today. He's gonna be out for at least a few weeks.»
While this news is absolutely devastating, the Boston Bruins are going to need to find a solution in replacing Lindholm until he is fully recovered.
Boston Bruins have existing options on their roster to replace Elias Lindholm
In a recent report by Tommy Bennett of The Hockey Writers, he mentions the Boston Bruins already have an existing option to take over Elias Lindholm's position while he recovers.
«Next man up mentality is one way the Bruins can go about this. The Bruins could shift Pavel Zacha to the top line and reunite him with fellow countryman David Pastrnak. The two are no strangers to playing with one another, and the chemistry is evident.
Dating back to the 2024-25 season, Zacha and Pastrnak have outscored opponents 94-66. Furthermore, they have a 50.70% Corsi for percentage and 50.33 expected goals percentage. Having Zacha back on the top line could pay enormous dividends offensively and give the Bruins the boost they need. If not him, Sturm could give the reins to Marat Khusnutdinov.» Bennett stated.
