I thought he played a very good game. I was very happy with him, Quillan, and Cowboy. They all played well tonight. This rink can be a pretty hostile environment and tough to play in, but I thought all three of them were very good tonight.
I think I have improved a lot in my offensive game in the last two years. This year, playing with Logan Shaw and Vinni Lettieri for most of the year has been really, really helpful. I have been really focused on my offensive game more than my defensive game. Shawsy was taking all of the responsibilities defensively, and that helped me kind of... not forget about that part, but show my skills a little bit more in that regard.
I've been welcomed, and it's been amazing so far. I've really enjoyed my time in DC, and I'm starting to get really comfortable with everybody and the systems and whatnot. Having a fresh start was definitely nice, and just looking forward to continuing that.
To make room for Lindholm on the roster, the Bruins assigned defenseman Michael Callahan back to Providence. Bruins head coach Marco Sturm confirmed Tuesday that Lindholm will return to Boston's lineup against New York, with Mason Lohrei set to be a healthy scratch. Defenseman Jonathan Aspirot will also slot into the lineup and make his NHL debut. Tuesday stands as Lindholm's first game since Oct. 18, and just his fourth game overall this season.
SAN JOSE Michael Misa's brief wait to make his NHL debut with the San Jose Sharks will be coming to an end. Misa will play in his first NHL game on Tuesday when the Sharks host the Carolina Hurricanes to close out their season-opening three-game homestand, coach Ryan Warsofksy confirmed. The Sharks juggled their lines for Monday's practice, and Misa, a center, skated on the Sharks' third line with wingers Ty Dellandrea and Philipp Kurashev.
Rookie defenseman Sam Dickinson will make his NHL debut on Saturday when the San Jose Sharks host the Anaheim Ducks in the second game of the season for both teams. Dickinson took rushes with Dmitry Orlov during Friday's practice at Sharks Ice, replacing Shakir Mukhamadullin, who had two assists in just 12:45 of ice time in San Jose's 4-3 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights at SAP Center.
