Bruins may get a major boost before Game 5

Lindholm joined the team for the team's optional practice in a regular practice sweater at Warrior Ice Arena. The former Anaheim Duck hasn't received clearance from team doctors, but Cassidy said he's a possibility to re-enter the lineup.

Lindholm left Game 2 vs. the Hurricanes in Raleigh after he was rocked by Andrei Svechnikov in the second period, a hit which didn't draw a penalty.

The 28-year-old blue liner had five assists in 10 games for the Bruins down the stretch after being acquired from the Anaheim Ducks at the trade deadline on March 19. Lindholm signed an 8 year, $52,000,000 contract with Boston the next day. The contract has a cap hit of $6,500,000.
