In the world of professional hockey, statistics can often speak volumes, and sometimes they reveal an uncomfortable truth. Such is the case for Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm. A recent stat has brought to light an embarrassing reality for the talented blueliner.
Out of the 83 NHL defensemen averaging over 20 minutes of ice time, seven of them have yet to record a single point this season. What's even more surprising is that two of those players belong to this select group: Torey Krug and, perhaps more notably, Hampus Lindholm.
In contrast, Adam Fox and Shea Theodore are leading the way among defensemen, boasting an impressive 10 points each. This striking contrast in performance highlights the challenging season Lindholm has had thus far, and it's a statistic he'll undoubtedly be eager to change as the season progresses.
While every player faces ups and downs in their career, this revealing stat serves as a reminder of the fierce competition and high expectations that come with playing in the NHL. Hampus Lindholm, a seasoned defenseman, will undoubtedly be working hard to find his scoring touch and contribute to the Boston Bruins' success.
