The Boston Bruins got some unfortunate news on Sunday when it was announced that defenseman Hampus Lindholm is going to miss the remainder of the season.

With the 4 Nations Face-Off over, the Bruins will resume play on Saturday night against the Anaheim Ducks at TD Garden.

Fans booed Boston after it fell 2 goals behind Anaheim after the first period in an eventual 3-2 loss for the Bruins.

Two nights after TD Garden hosted the thrilling 4 Nations Face-Off finale, the Boston Bruins are going back to work on their Eastern Conference wild-card chase.

Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand's future with the team is unclear. The 36-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent in the final season of an eight-year $49,000,000 contract.

Boston Bruins’ General Manager Don Sweeney told reporters Sunday that Hampus Lindholm is “unlikely” to return this season, as the defenseman will be having surgery next week related to the fractured patella tendon he suffered last November.
