Lindholm retuned to the Bruins lineup on Saturday but was held out of the second-half of the Bruins' back-to-back on Sunday. He'll be back on the top pair with Charlie McAvoy and second power-play unit.
Lindholm missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but will play Saturday vs. the Rangers. Lindholm has picked up four assists in seven games since joining the Bruins.
Lindholm suffered a lower-body injury in Detroit on Tuesday and will miss Friday's game in Tampa. With Lindholm out, Mike Reilly will move up to the top pair next to Charlie McAvoy.
Lindholm was acquired from the Ducks before the deadline, signed an eight-year extension with the Bruins on Sunday and is set to make his debut on Thursday. Lindholm will replace Mike Reilly in the lineup and skate on the top pair with Charlie McAvoy.
Lindholm was acquired from the Ducks on Saturday night and is reportedly nearing an extension with his new team. He will not play Monday in Montreal but is expected to make his debut vs. the Lightning on Thursday.
Lindholm had previously missed time with a lower-body injury before fracturing his wrist in his return to the lineup last Saturday. With Lindholm out for at least six weeks, he could return for the final month of the season.
Ducks GM Bob Murray said that Lindholm has no timeline for a potential return but the team also didn't say that they were shutting him down. If Lindholm does not return, he'll finish the year with two goals and 20 assists (22 points) in a career-low 55 games.
Lindholm crashed heavily into the board in the second period and immediately went down the tunnel and did not return. Lindholm was a player that the Ducks could not afford to lose, already being down Cam Fowler and Erik Gudbranson.

Lindholm will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but the Ducks coaching staff is "encouraged" for his availability later on this homestand. Josh Mahura is expected to replace Brendan Guhle on the Ducks' top-pair, where Lindholm would be.
