Bruins D Hampus Lindholm sidelined multiple weeks

Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm will be sidelined for multiple weeks with a lower-body injury, Boston coach Jim Montgomery said Wednesday.

Lindholm, 30, departed Tuesday night's 3-2 victory at St. Louis late in the first period after blocking a shot by Blues defenseman Justin Faulk.

Lindholm has recorded three goals and four assists in 17 games this season.

An All-Star in 2022-23, Lindholm has 313 points (73 goals, 240 assists) and a plus-147 rating in 762 career games with the Anaheim Ducks (2013-22) and Bruins. The Ducks drafted the Swede sixth overall in 2012.

Boston's blue line was already short-handed with Andrew Peeke considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
