The Bruins are facing off against the Carolina Hurricanes tonight, and the recent injury news about Elias Lindholm has caused the Bruins to make a two-player roster transaction.
During Thursday's game against the Buffalo Sabres, Lindholm left the game and would not return.
Following practice yesterday, the worst was confirmed for Lindholm, as head coach Marco Sturm stated he was going to be out for multiple weeks.
Sturm said Elias Lindholm is going for an MRI. He's going to be out a couple of weeks, said Sturm.
This is a huge loss for the Bruins, especially considering how key he has been for them to begin the season.
Because of this news, the Bruins were forced to make some changes to their lineup ahead of their game against the Hurricanes.
Bruins make a two-player move
With the Bruins being down a forward, John Beecher is going to be drawing back into the lineup for Elias Lindholm.
He will be placed back on the fourth line with Kuraly and Kastelic, and Michael Eyssimont is being bumped back up to the third line with Jeannot and Minten.
Here were the Bruins' practice lines:
Bruins practice lines:
Geekie-Khusnutdinov-Pastrnak
Mittelstadt-Zacha-Arvidsson
Jeannot-Minten-Eyssimont
Beecher-Kuraly-Kastelic
Viel
Zadorov-McAvoy
Lohrei-Peeke
Aspirot-Jokiharju
Geekie-Khusnutdinov-Pastrnak
Mittelstadt-Zacha-Arvidsson
Jeannot-Minten-Eyssimont
Beecher-Kuraly-Kastelic
Viel
Zadorov-McAvoy
Lohrei-Peeke
Aspirot-Jokiharju
The starting goaltender for the Bruins is still unclear, and a decision will probably only be made closer to puck drop.
It's going to be interesting to see how these new lines do for the Bruins, especially Khusnutdinov taking over the 1C role with Lindholm out.
