He produced 15 goals and 29 points across 75 regular-season appearances between Calgary and Vancouver in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Lindholm (undisclosed) was absent from Tuesday's practice and won't see any preseason action this week, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Lindholm was initially supposed to skate Monday, but an undisclosed injury sustained on Day 1 of training camp has kept him off the ice. He will remain day-to-day ahead of Boston's final three exhibition contests before Opening Night versus Florida on Oct. 8.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Not practicing Friday
Rotowire
Lindholm was held out of practice Friday due to general soreness, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Lindholm's spot on the top line between David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha was taken by Matthew Poitras at practice. Coach Jim Montgomery said the move to keep Lindholm off the ice was precautionary. Lindholm had only 15 goals and 29 assists in 75 regular-season games split between Calgary and Vancouver last year, but the 29-year-old has had a couple of big seasons during his 11-year NHL career, including 42 goals and 40 assists in the 2021-22 campaign.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Signs seven-year deal
Rotowire
Lindholm secured a seven-year, $54.25 million contract with Boston on Monday, Irfaan Gaffar of The Fourth Period reports.
Lindholm managed just 15 goals in 75 regular-season contests between the Flames and Canucks in 2023-24, his lowest goal total since 2016-17 when he was with Carolina. While a first-line role probably is unlikely with the Bruins, Lindholm should be in the mix for power-play minutes. Look for the Swede to get himself back above the 20-goal mark this year and could even challenge for 30 given the talent around him, though that's a level he's reached just once in his 11-year career.

Rotowire
Lindholm logged an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 7.
Lindholm did his part in the second round with three goals and four assists over seven games, but it wasn't enough to extend the Canucks' season. The center produced 22 points over 39 contests between the regular season and playoffs with Vancouver following his trade from Calgary. The 29-year-old is set for unrestricted free agency and figures to be one of the biggest names on the market July 1, assuming he doesn't re-up with the Canucks before then.

Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Stays warm with assist
Rotowire
Lindholm notched an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5.
Lindholm has points in three straight contests and six points over five second-round appearances versus the Oilers. His assist Thursday was timely, as it set up J.T. Miller for the game-winning goal with 33 seconds left in the third period. Lindholm has produced nine points, 22 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 11 playoff outings. He has spent much of the postseason on the third line, but he was moved up to the second line in an effort to support the slumping Elias Pettersson, who shifted to the wing.

Rotowire
Lindholm provided an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

He's up to five goals, three assists, 19 shots on net, 27 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 10 outings this postseason. While he's listed on the third line, he gets enough all-situations minutes to be a de facto top-six forward.
