Boston Bruins Head Coach Joe Sacco Speaks On The Health Of Top Defenseman Regarding Recent Injury News
The Boston Bruinss have been without Hampus Lindholm for a significant amount of time. Since November 12th they've had to rely on Mason Lohrei to fill Llindholm's spot in the lineup.
However, the last bit of news we've received on the defenseman is that he'd recovered enough to start practicing on the ice.
On January 15th he'd offer a perspective on how it felt to start skating again, progressing little by little.
«I just try to do everything I can to maximize when I do get back, learn something and hope to be a better version of myself when I do get back on the ice playing.»
Since then the Bruins have been mum on the situation until Head Coach Joe Sacco was asked about his status.
According to Head Coach Joe Sacco, they've received no other updates on the defenseman.
The Bruins have had to make due without the shutdown defenseman since November 12th, and has impacted the team negatively.
While Mason Lohrei is a good defenseman, he can hardly replicate Lindholm's game in the NHL.
Lohrei's an offensive defenseman and needs to besheltered by someone like Lindholm in order to be an effective player on the ice.
The Bruins are missing his muscle and fans are missing his presence.
Fortunately, last heard he was skating again, a positive step in the right direction.
Now, can we get an idea of his eventual return to the Bruins lineup, so they can possibly make a wild card spot in the playoffs?
NESN:
Hopefully, the Bruins can ease him back into the lineup soon after Four Nations Face-Off ends.
