A surprising development was made involving Boston Bruins Elias Lindholm this morning at practice.

Elias Lindholm hasn't been present with the Boston Bruins since suffering an injury during the Bruins first skate.

Jim Montgomery stated that the Boston Bruins are holding him out of skates for "precautionary reasons", and he hasn't seen the ice with the Bruins since, but a surprising development was made today about him.

According to Fluto Shinzawa, a Boston Bruins insider, Elias Lindholm is taking part in the Boston Bruins skate this morning.

He is immediately placed back on the first line with Pavel Zacha and David Pastrnak.

Prax lines:

Zacha-Lindholm-Pastrnak
Marchand-Coyle-Geekie
Frederic-Poitras-Johnson
Beecher-Kastelic-Koepke
Tufte-Brown-Viel

Lindholm-McAvoy
Lohrei-Carlo
Zadorov-Peeke
Wotherspoon-Sweezewy

Although he is still wearing a red no-contact jersey, this is big for the Boston Bruins who acquired Elias Lindholm in the off-season during free agency, to replace Patrice Bergeron.

Correction: It's Elias Lindholm and Jeffrey Viel (48) not Max Jones (49) in the red no-contact.

Ever since Bergeron retired the Boston Bruins have been looking for a number 1 center to replace him, and the Bruins feel like Lindholm is the exact player they needed to fill the shoes of Patrice Bergeron.
