After an uninspiring win over Italy and a loss to Finland, Sweden is making some changes to their lineup on Saturday. Lindholm will replace Rasmus Andersson and dress as Sweden's seventh defenseman. The seventh defenseman and 13th forward haven't seen much ice-time for Sweden through two games, so it's unclear how much Lindholm will actually play on Saturday.
Lindholm showed no signs of an injury in Boston's most recent game, but he will head to the sidelines due to an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old defenseman has 14 points (3G / 11A) in 34 games this season. He had three points (1G / 1A) in his last two games.
Lindholm has been in and out of the lineup with injuries lately. His absence from the morning skate on Thursday was concerning, but it was not injury-related, as he was away from the team to welcome the birth of his child. The 31-year-old Lindholm is averaging 16:04 time-on-ice and has one assist in four games this season.
Hampus Lindholm did not play last Sunday, supposedly given an extra day of maintenance after returning from an injury, but has been sidelined since, missing five consecutive games. The 31-year-old Lindholm is averaging 15:04 time-on-ice and has a -3 plus/minus in three games this season. Michael Callahan was assigned to Providence (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Hampus Lindholm did not play on Sunday, given an extra day of maintenance after returning from an injury, but will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. Jordan Harris will exit the lineup to accommodate Lindholm's return.
Lindholm has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but has a chance to return Saturday in Colorado. Lindholm was skating on the second pairing and PP2 in the morning skate, a sign that he'll be in the lineup this evening.
Lindholm left the game in the first period and was unable to return. We should get an update on his status ahead of Boston's game against the Sabres on Saturday.
Lindholm has been sidelined since November 12th but appears to be nearing a return to the lineup after practicing on Monday. The 30-year-old defenseman was averaging 20:51 time-on-ice and had seven points (3G / 4A) in 17 games before his injury this season. The Bruins return to action on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, but head coach Joe Sacco has stated it is too early for Lindholm's return.
Lindholm remains sidelined without a definitive update on when he may return to the lineup. The 30-year-old defenseman was averaging 20:51 time-on-ice and had seven points (3G / 4A) in 17 games before his injury this season.
