Bruins Need Important Star To Heat Back Up
The Boston Bruins need this forward to get things back on track.

However, Lindholm, much like the Bruins in general, has cooled off immensely after his outstanding start. Over his last four games, the 6-foot-1 forward has zero points and a minus-4 rating. During that stretch, the Bruins have had a 1-2-1 record.
As the Bruins' new first-line center, Lindholm is an incredibly important forward in their lineup. If Boston hopes to turn things around and succeed, they will need players like Lindholm to play at their best. Thus, it is essential for the 2013 first-round pick to regain his very early-season form.
Given how strongly Lindholm started the campaign, there is reason to believe he can bounce back for the Bruins. We will now need to wait and see if he can have a big response against the Dallas Stars on Thursday (Oct. 24) from here.
