He had issues with the New York Islanders in last season's second-round series, and the Hurricanes play a similar style. The issue with Reilly is he often struggles against physical teams that aggressively forecheck. The 28-year-old defenseman is a smooth-skating, offensively skilled player who can generate offense and initiate breakouts. Mike Reilly will get the first opportunity to enter the lineup and help replace Lindholm. Lindholm is a two-way star who plays in all situations, and there's no one on Boston's depth chart capable of giving the team that kind of skill set for 20-plus minutes per game (aside from Charlie McAvoy, of course). The Bruins will be without their second-best defenseman for Game 3 after Hampus Lindholm suffered an upper body injury as a result of a massive hit from Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov in Game 2.

Lindholm took a massive hit from Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov in the second period, and he's already been ruled out for Game 3.
Not only did the B's lose 5-2 and fall into an 0-2 hole in their first-round playoff series, they also lost star defenseman Hampus Lindholm to an upper body injury. The Bruins hit a new low point in their 2021-22 season during Wednesday night's Game 2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena.
