Hampus Lindholm will Return in Game 6 After Huge Hit from Svechnikov Earlier in Series

Game 2 of the BOS/CAR series feature a massive hit from Andrei Svechnikov which kept Lindholm out of the series for Games 2-5. Perhaps you remember the hit, but if not allow me:

A bone-crushing hit, Lindholm required help from teammates & trainers to vacate the ice, which was a discouraging sign for his well-being. In his post-game presser, Head Coach Bruce Cassidy was asked about Lindholm's condition & offered a simple, 'he doesn't look good.'

After missing the last 3 matches, Lindholm will return in Game 6. Per the Bruins' morning line rushes, he's slated to skate on a D-pair with Charlie McAvoy.

In Game 2's post-game press conference, Cassidy implied much of the responsibility for the hit on Lindholm fell on Brandon Carlo, who gave his partner a poor pass. It seems that he meant it, as he split Lindholm & Carlo, so it will be interesting to see how this affects the Bruins' composition & success in Game 6.
