"Since acquiring Hampus Lindholm in March of 2022, the Boston Bruins have relied heavily on his defensive minutes at the top of their lineup. Overall, he played in 153 games over his first two seasons in Boston. However, last season Hampus Lindholm was sideline for all but 17 games with a back injury and the team missed him dearly. Boston plummeted in the second half and missed the playoffs entirely."
"Elias Lindholm's career year happened in 2021-22 with the Calgary Flames, where he averaged a point per game alongside Mathew Tkachuk and the late Johnny Gaudreau. The Bruins hoped to replicate that spark by putting him on a line with David Pastrnak, but the two rarely played together in 2024-25. Instead, Lindholm went stretches where the scoring dried up, like in January and Febuary when he tallied just 10 points in an eighteen game slate before the Four Nations Break."
Since 2022 Hampus Lindholm anchored the Bruins' top defensive minutes and totaled 153 games in his first two Boston seasons. A back injury last season limited him to 17 games, and the team collapsed in the second half, missing the playoffs and losing defensive depth. The Bruins signed Elias Lindholm in 2024 to replace departed centers Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci after his 2021-22 point-per-game season in Calgary. Elias and David Pastrnak rarely skated together in 2024-25, and Elias endured scoring droughts. Both Lindholms must contribute in 2025-26; Hampus appears healthy and Elias has preseason time with Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie.
