On Thursday night, the Bruins were facing off against the Buffalo Sabres when they were hit with some unfortunate news.
First-line center Elias Lindholm had a scary collision with Sabres forward Jordan Greenway, causing him to leave the game.
Here is the video:
E. Lindholm and Greenway collide, looks like they clanged knees. Lindholm helped off, hopefully just a dead leg but doesn't look great.
With Lindholm out, the Bruins need a new first-line center, and they are using a surprising player to take over for him.

Marat Khusnutdinov has been playing with the top line for a couple of games now and has been looking really good.
Marco Sturm is rewarding him once again, as he will be replacing Lindholm for now while he is out.
