"To make room for Lindholm on the roster, the Bruins assigned defenseman Michael Callahan back to Providence. Bruins head coach Marco Sturm confirmed Tuesday that Lindholm will return to Boston's lineup against New York, with Mason Lohrei set to be a healthy scratch. Defenseman Jonathan Aspirot will also slot into the lineup and make his NHL debut. Tuesday stands as Lindholm's first game since Oct. 18, and just his fourth game overall this season."
"Lindholm was originally placed on IR Sunday, but the 31-year-old blueliner was eligible to return to game action at any point, given that his IR designation was retroactive to when the injury first occurred (Oct. 9). Lindholm hasn't been able to settle into a groove so far this season after going down with a lower-body injury during Boston's home opener against Chicago."
Hampus Lindholm was activated off injured reserve and will rejoin the Boston Bruins' lineup for the game against the New York Islanders at TD Garden. Michael Callahan was reassigned to Providence to clear a roster spot. Mason Lohrei will be a healthy scratch while Jonathan Aspirot will make his NHL debut. Lindholm missed eight of Boston's last nine games after suffering a lower-body injury in the home opener on Oct. 9 and was retroactively placed on IR. He has appeared in four games this season, recording a minus-3 rating and six blocks over 45 minutes.
