The Boston Bruins’ 2024-25 season kicks off Tuesday night in Florida, and expectations are high. Here are some bold predictions for the new year.
Firstly, Elias Lindholm is poised for a standout debut season with the Bruins. The 29-year-old center is projected to rack up 71 points.
Lindholm’s exceptional faceoff skills, boasting a career-best 56.4% success rate last year, will significantly bolster Boston’s defensive zone coverage.
Moreover, Lindholm’s refined two-way game will prove invaluable in high-pressure situations. His ability to contribute at both ends of the ice makes him an asset.
While replicating his 42-goal, 82-point campaign from 2021-22 may be ambitious, the Bruins need Lindholm to deliver more scoring punch than his 44 points last season.
With a $7.75 million annual salary, the pressure is on Lindholm to perform. Boston expects him to be a key contributor on offense, complementing his defensive prowess.
