Lindholm will play in Sweden after being released from his NHL contract, Joe Haggerty of Boston Hockey Now reports.
Prior to the move, Lindholm had been a spare forward for the Bruins, appearing in just one game this season. The 29-year-old will now play for Skelleftea AIK, the team he played for prior to heading to North America in advance of the 2018-19 campaign. Over the course of 106 NHL games, Lindholm logged four goals and 19 points.

Bruins' Par Lindholm: Reportedly returning to Sweden
Rotowire
Lindholm is expected to return to his native Sweden after the Bruins waived him Sunday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.
Lindholm suited up for just one game with the Bruins this year. He often shuffled between the taxi squad and the active roster. In 106 NHL games, the 29-year-old forward collected 19 points, but there's a realistic chance he could play out the rest of his career overseas after never finding much more than a bottom-six role in the NHL.

Rotowire
The Bruins reassigned Lindholm to the taxi squad Thursday, per CBS Sports.
Lindholm was promoted to the active roster ahead of Wednesday's game against the Flyers, but he didn't end up playing in the contest. The 29-year-old has seen just one game this season, skating in 12:55 of ice time. He could have an opportunity to suit up in Friday's game against the Flyers again.

Rotowire
The Bruins assigned Lindholm to their taxi squad Saturday, per TSN.

Bruins' Par Lindholm: Could play Thursday
Rotowire
Lindholm skated on a line with Trent Frederic and Jack Studnicka during Wednesday's practice.
With Jake DeBrusk (lower body) set to miss at least one game, it looks like Lindholm -- who is on the Bruins' taxi squad -- could draw into the team's lineup Thursday against the Penguins. Lindholm saw action in 40 games with Boston last season, recording three goals and six points in that span. The 29-year-old has been serving as a spare forward in practice of late, but as the current campaign rolls along, Lindholm figures to see spot duty when the team is shorthanded up front.

Bruins' Par Lindholm: Tips home goal in return to lineup
Rotowire
Lindholm picked up the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
After being a healthy scratch for the last four-straight games, Lindholm was able to pot his third goal of the season. He was only placed in the lineup when David Krejci (undisclosed) became a late scratch and only saw 8:07 of ice time, so if Krejci is okay to play Sunday, expect Lindholm to be the odd-man-out once again.

Bruins' Par Lindholm: Gets first helper
Rotowire
Lindholm picked up an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Predators.
The helper was Lindholm's third point of the season, as all but two Bruins forwards picked up a point in the contest. The 28-year-old tallied 13 points in 65 games last season in his NHL debut, but has been in and out of the Bruins' bottom six this year.

Bruins' Par Lindholm: Will play Tuesday
Rotowire
Lindholm (laceration) will be back in the lineup against Montreal on Tuesday.
Lindholm slots back into the lineup after just one game on the shelf. While the center projects into a fourth-line role due to the absence of Patrice Bergeron (lower body) and Brett Ritchie (infection), the club could shake things up with additional call-ups. In 13 appearances this season, the Swede recorded one assist and14 shots while averaging a mere 11:06 of ice time.

Bruins' Par Lindholm: Unable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Lindholm (laceration) is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wild, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
Lindholm required 18 stitches after suffering a cut during Thursday's win over the Sabres, and he won't be able to suit up. Despite the injury, the notion that he had a shot to play bodes well for his chances of playing Tuesday against Montreal, although his injury will need to heal up enough by then.
