Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Grabs pair of points Sunday
Rotowire
Lindholm scored a goal, dished an assist, put three shots on net and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
Lindholm netted the opening goal for the Bruins with just three seconds remaining in the first period. He then got involved as a playmaker with a secondary helper on Morgan Geekie's goal. Overall, the 30-year-old Lindholm is up to 17 goals, 29 assists and 152 shots on net across 81 appearances this season. While his debut season with the Bruins fell short of expectations, he has improved his play down the stretch with less pressure on the Bruins to succeed. Lindholm currently has 14 points in his last 16 contests with eight of those points in his last six games. With six years left on his deal with the Bruins, he'll likely see top-six minutes and be put in the position to find the offensive impact he was able to produce across the previous three seasons.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Three points in win Saturday
Rotowire
Lindholm had one goal and two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.
David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie stole the show for the Bruins by recording five points each, but Lindholm was productive in his own right. This was the third time Lindholm scored at least three points in a game this season, but it was only his seventh multi-point outing, and his numbers have been down compared to the strong production he had in Calgary over the previous few seasons. Lindholm has recorded only 42 points in 77 contests in 2024-25.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Worst statistical season of career
Rotowire
Lindholm scored the Bruins only goal in a 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
It was his 14th goal and just 39th point of the season (76 games). The Boston experience has been a struggle for Lindholm, whose production has been a lot more like his early seasons with Carolina than his much stronger work in Calgary. He's arguably having the worst statistical season of his career, aside from his rookie season, and his defensive work has suffered, too. The Bruins were seeking a Patrice Bergeron-like player when they inked Lindholm, but he's proving to be a very costly mistake.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Puts away goal in blowout loss
Rotowire
Lindholm scored a goal in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Lindholm snapped a three-game dry spell when he tallied just 19 seconds into the contest. The good vibes didn't last long for the Bruins -- Anze Kopitar tied the game a couple minutes later, and the Kings dominated the rest of the way. Lindholm is up to 13 goals, 37 points, 130 shots on net, 104 hits, 70 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 72 appearances. While this is set to be a career year in the physical categories for Lindholm, it's come at the cost of offense as he tracks toward his worst scoring campaign since his first three seasons in Carolina.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Three-game, four-point streak
Rotowire
Lindholm had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 loss to the Lightning on Saturday.
His goal came on a one-timer from the slot. Lindholm has struggled in Boston, producing just 12 goals and 36 points in 68 games this season. However, he has heated up recently, generating one goal and three assists during his three-game point streak. Lindholm may never return to being a 70-80-point producer, but he has enough talent to go on solid runs to help fantasy managers, and his current success might be one of them.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Rotowire
Lindholm logged a power-play assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
Lindholm has three helpers during his eight-game goal drought. The 30-year-old center has seen a role reduction in March, slipping to the third-line center spot after the Bruins flipped Charlie Coyle for Casey Mittelstadt at the deadline. While that's not an encouraging sign in the first year of a seven-year deal, Lindholm still functions as a top-six forward thanks to his special-teams play. He has disappointed with 33 points, 122 shots on net, 97 hits, 65 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 66 appearances, and he could miss the 40-point mark for the first time since 2015-16.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Nets power-play goal
Rotowire
Lindholm found the back of the net on the power play and took three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Lindholm's tally was the lone goal of the second period, which cut the Bruins' early deficit in half. His power-play tally was his second goal of the season with the man advantage. Overall, Lindholm has 11 goals, 30 points, 96 shots on net and 90 hits in 58 games this season. After skating with Team Sweden in the 4 Nations Face-Off, he has been an instant contributor and is back on Boston's first power-play unit following the injury to Charlie McAvoy (shoulder). While he is well off his career best of 82 points from the 2021-22 campaign, the 30-year-old center has time to surpass his mark of 44 points from a year ago. Lindholm should continue to see top-six minutes and a decent chunk of power-play time.
