He's a human being. We're not going to rush him. I'm the first one who needs him, his teammates, too. But we want him to be well.

For now at least, Bruins' coach Marco Sturm termed Elias Lindholm as "day-to-day" with an upper body injury, though he there was the caveat that the No. 1 centerman was still scheduled to visit the doctors when Sturm met with reporters after the B's morning skate on Thursday.

It was exciting, unfortunately probably they saw shadows of our former selves.
