Lindholm scored a goal on six shots and added an assist in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm's tally in the third period provided a quick response to William Nylander's opening goal. In overtime, Lindholm dumped in a pass that caromed perfectly off the boards to David Pastrnak, who deked around Ilya Samsonov for the series-clinching goal. Lindholm concludes the first round with four points, 12 shots on net, six hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven appearances. He'll continue to see top-four minutes and will likely be tasked with a shutdown role in the second round against the Panthers.

Lindholm registered an assist through 25:03 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs for Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

The stalwart defenseman has two helpers in this series after failing to pick up any points at all through 11 playoff games dating back to his previous two seasons with the Bruins. Lindholm took a step back offensively in the regular season, dropping from 53 points (10 goals, 43 assists) in 2022-23 to 26 points (three goals, 23 assists) this time around, though a lower-body injury caused him to miss nine games before he returned with two apples in a March 9 return. Fantasy managers still hanging around for the playoff pools should view Lindholm as a serviceable option as long as the B's remain in playoff contention.

Lindholm recorded an assist, two hits, a plus-3 rating and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm snapped a five-game point drought with the assist. The 30-year-old defenseman helped out on Brandon Carlo's tally in the second period. Lindholm returned to his career norms in 2023-24 with 26 points, a plus-18 rating, 99 shots on net, 100 blocked shots and 63 PIM over 73 appearances after posting a 53-point season in 2022-23. He'll play in a top-four role throughout the postseason, but he shouldn't be expected to generate consistent offense.

Lindholm found the back of the net in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm opened the scoring 18:47 into the first period for his second goal of the season. He also added one hit, four PIM, one shot on net and a plus-1 rating in 26:08 of ice time. The 30-year-old defenseman is limited in scoring due to his lack of power-play time but as a first pairing rearguard he gets many opportunities for consistent peripheral statistics like blocked shots and hits.

Lindholm earned two assists Saturday in a 5-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm made a significant impact in his return after missing nine games due to a lower-body injury. He hasn't come close to his eye-popping output from last season, but that doesn't diminish his value on the ice. He has one goal and 21 points in 57 games this campaign while serving as a pillar in the defensive zone.

Lindholm (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Saturday against Pittsburgh, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Following a nine-game absence, Lindholm will replace Parker Wotherspoon in the lineup against the Penguins. The 30-year-old Lindholm has generated 19 points, 71 shots on goal and 73 blocked shots in 56 games this season.

Lindholm (lower body) is probable to play Saturday versus Pittsburgh, according to Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm has sat out the last nine games, but it appears he'll likely be activated off IR prior to Saturday's contest. He has one goal, 18 assists and a plus-19 rating in 56 contests this season. Parker Wotherspoon will likely sit if Lindholm returns to action versus the Penguins.

Lindholm (lower body) will not be available Thursday against Toronto, but he's inching closer to a return, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm has been a solid defensive piece for the Bruins all year, recording one goal and 18 assists while posting a respectable plus-19 rating through 56 contests. The 30-year-old has played heavy minutes this year averaging 23:42 per game. Look for him to slot into a top-four role upon his return.

Lindholm (undisclosed) skated before Wednesday's practice, but he's not expected to return for Thursday's game versus Vegas, Scott McLaughlin of The Skate Pod reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm was last in the lineup Feb. 19. He has a goal, 19 points, 52 PIM, 36 hits and 73 blocks in 56 outings in 2023-24. Once Lindholm is healthy, the blueliner will likely serve in a top-four capacity.

Lindholm (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lindholm was already ruled out for the Bruins' current road trip, so he's not expected to play before next Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights. Ian Mitchell was called up in a corresponding move to provide defensive depth.
