Boston's Cam Neely Could Be Next On The Hot Seat While speaking to reporters, Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/] head coach Joe Sacco shared that defenseman Hampus Lindholm is still weeks away from returning to action. Lindholm, 30, has been out since suffering a lower-body injury from blocking a shot by St. Louis Blues [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/st-louis-blues/] defenseman Justin Faulk on Nov. 12. He has missed nine straight games, and we now have confirmation from Sacco that he is still not close to returning.

Lindholm has appeared in 17 games this season with the Bruins, where he has three goals, seven points, and a minus-4 rating. In 180 games as a Bruin, Lindholm has 16 goals, 91 points, and a plus-73 rating.
