Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is still recovering from an undisclosed injury with no set return date.

Lindholm has been a 22-point flop. He is signed for six more seasons with no-move protection through 2029. Lindholm, 30, is practically untradeable, even if the Bruins eat part of his remaining salary.

The Bruins won for the first time in seven games Saturday, pinning a 4-3 overtime loss on the Stanley Cup champion Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena.

BOSTON (AP) — Charlie Coyle scored a pair of third-period goals, stealing the spotlight from fellow Boston University product Macklin Celebrini in his first game back at the TD Garden as an NHLer and leading the Bruins to a 6-3 victory over San Jose on Monday.

The Bruins may not be the most talented bunch and the direction of the organization is still very much up in the air.

Boston’s trademark stingy defense has turned into a sieve — sapping the Bruins of arguably their steadiest foundation in an unstable campaign.

The Boston Bruins, for most of Don Sweeney’s almost 10 years as general manager, have had a clear objective ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Buy. The Bruins’ problem for much of the last eight years hasn’t been whether they could qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Former Ottawa Senator Joonas Korppisalo pitched a shutout against his old team and the Bruins won 2-0 t the Garden.

Even with Boston leapfrogging both Columbus and Montreal in the standings, the Bruins have plenty of work to do if they want to punch their ticket to the postseason for the ninth year in a row.

According to interim coach Joe Sacco, the physical forward is out with an illness. Frederic’s absence leaves the Bruins without one of their most physical players. He has seven goals and seven assists in 47 games. The Bruins are now missing, Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm, Cole Koepke and Frederic.

The Boston Bruins are back on the ice this afternoon to face the San Jose Sharks. After an ugly shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators last game, the Bruins will aim to bounce back and secure two points.

Koepke's replacement will be determined shortly. Bruins head coach Joe Sacco said forward Mark Kastelic would be back in the lineup if he is given the green light to play by the medical team. If not, Oliver Wahlstrom will replace Koepke in the lineup.
