BOSTON — It may be cruel to note that Elias Lindholm is now without a five-on-five point in his last 13 games. The first-year Boston Bruin scored a short-handed goal and assisted on a power-play strike in the Bruins’ 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. It was Lindholm’s fifth multi-point game with the Bruins.

The Winnipeg Jets scored four unanswered goals in the third period to beat the Boston Bruins and earn their fifth consecutive win.

Yet, now that Lindholm is being put back up to Boston's top six, he has a golden chance to show the Bruins that he is deserving of a prominent role. If he makes a positive impression against the Jets, it will help his case to stay on a line with Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle .

Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo will both be back on the Bruins blue line leaving Hampus Lindholm as the only defenseman missing. Mark Kastelic remains out of the lineup, but there was good news on him as well as he was back at morning skate on Thursday.
