"A lot has changed since the last time Hampus Lindholm took to the ice with the Boston Bruins. When the veteran blueliner labored off the ice at St. Louis' Enterprise Center on Nov. 12, 2024, Jim Montgomery was still on the Bruins' bench - not the Blues'. Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo, Charlie Coyle and several other stalwarts were still donning black-and-gold sweaters."
""It's hard. You want to be out there and fighting with the guys, win or lose," Lindholm said Tuesday at the team's golf tournament at the Pinehills Golf Club. "And obviously I feel like I could have made some difference with the team [last] year, and I was sidelined unfortunately. "I've been trying to take that time - instead of feeling sorry for myself, try to put that time into improving myself and get better and come back stronger and [be] a better version of myself there this season.""
""I always try to turn it into something positive," Lindholm, who began skating again in June, said of his injury. "You can't really do anything about those things. And I've been trying to look at my injury this summer - I had to try to get stronger, bigger and to have an even better season this season that I've had in the past. So I'm very, very excit"
Hampus Lindholm suffered a fractured patella on Nov. 12, 2024 and missed the final 65 games of the season. The Bruins finished 33-39-10, tied for the fourth-worst points percentage in the league. Lindholm began skating again in June and has focused his offseason on getting stronger and bigger. He emphasized using recovery time to improve rather than dwell on the injury. Lindholm is expected to play a key role if the Bruins improve next season and aims to return as a better, stronger version of himself.
