"After a day off in Seattle on Sunday, the B's showed up for practice at Climate Pledge Arena on Monday without Hampus Lindholm, who had suffered some kind of unspecified injury and is going to miss some time, coach Marco Sturm told reporters in Seattle. "It's not going to be a day-to-day thing," said Sturm. "Hopefully it's not going to be too long. He's definitely going to be out a little bit. We have to do more testing when we're back in Boston.""
"The Lindholm injury most likely means that Henri Jokiharju, who has been out since being injured in the Black Friday loss to the Rangers, will jump back into action. He has been skating for weeks and was already with the team on the five-game trip. "It's been a challenge just watching the games up top. It sucks that you can't do anything to help the team win. It's a little mental grind, let's put it that way," said Jokiharju."
The Bruins have won two straight and earned points in three consecutive games, showing signs of stabilization after a six-game losing streak. Hampus Lindholm suffered an unspecified injury in Seattle and will miss time; the issue is not expected to be day-to-day and further testing will occur in Boston. Lindholm missed most of last season with a broken kneecap that required surgeries and also missed multiple October games with a lower-body problem; his earlier return coincided with a seven-game win streak. Lindholm played 22:47, including overtime shifts, in Vancouver before the injury was noticed and remains with the team. Henri Jokiharju has been skating for weeks and is likely to rejoin the lineup after watching from the press box, describing that experience as a mental grind. Jokiharju practiced with Nikita Zadorov, a pairing that produced positive results in a brief sample.
