Lindholm has been on the shelf for nearly two months, with the veteran skater hobbled after blocking a shot off his knee in Boston's road win over the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 12.
"He's not skating yet, but he is getting closer to being on the ice," Sacco told reporters in New York. "I don't have an exact time for when he's going to be hitting the ice, but he's getting closer to returning to the ice."
Even though the Bruins have largely improved their game since Sacco was named interim head coach, Boston has felt the loss of a puck-moving defenseman like Lindholm.
Lindholm was expected to quarterback Boston's struggling power-play unit during the same game in which he was injured - standing as another setback for a man ad.
