The Boston Bruins quickly replace Lindholm as they call up an unexpected defenseman
The Boston Bruins have quickley replaced Hampus Lindholm after suffering an injury with an unexpected defenseman.
Yesterday facing off against the St. Louis Blues, the Bruins were hit with some terrible injury news after just the first period.
Towards the end of the first period the Boston Bruins were on the penalty kill after Justin Brazeau ended up taking a hooking penalty. During the penalty kill, Hampus Lindholm ended up blocking a shot from Justin Faulk.
Lindholm looked like he was in some pain, and would remain on the bench for a minute before leaving to go down the tunnel to the Bruins locker room.
Here is the block that caused Lindholm to exit the game:
To start the second period it was noted that Hampus Lindholm was not on the bench with the Boston Bruins.
Not long after the Boston Bruins revealed that Lindholm was not going to return to the game after suffering a lower-body injury.
Now the Boston Bruins have quickly called up Jordan Oesterle from the Providence Bruins to replace Hampus Lindholm with the Boston Bruins.
This is questionable, as the Bruins had multiple players during training camp that impressed them but instead they decided to go with 32 year-old Jordan Oesterle, who as Bruins Network has stated does have 8 points in 9 games, but is prone to making a lot of questionable turnovers, something the Bruins have been terrible at all season long.
