Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm missed a significant portion of this past season due to a fractured kneecap he suffered against the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 12. While he worked hard to try to return, he was unable to get back into game action before the 2024-25 season was complete. With this, he played in just 17 games this past season for the Bruins, where he had three goals, four assists, and seven points.

There is no question that the Bruins missed Lindholm tremendously this past season, and his absence from their blueline undoubtedly played a role in their nightmare 2024-25 season. However, Lindholm has now provided an exciting update about his injury recovery. 

While speaking with the Boston Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont, Lindholm shared that he is fully healed and is good to go for the start of training camp. 

This is certainly excellent news for the Bruins, as Lindholm is their top left-shot defenseman, and their blueline is far better when he is healthy because of it. Thus, it is significant that he is ready to return to the ice for training camp. This will also give him plenty of time to shake off the rust after missing most of last season due to his injury. 

With the Bruins looking to have a bounce-back season, they are going to need their important players to stay healthy. Thus, getting Lindholm back is major news for the Original Six club, and it will be fascinating to see how much of an impact he can make next season from here. 

Where New Bruins Should Fit In Lineup After a disappointing 2024-25 season, the expectation was that the <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins">Boston Bruins</a> would look to make changes to their roster this summer. It is fair to say that they did just that, as they brought in an array of new players this off-season, as they continue their retool.
