No one has been thrilled by Elias Lindholm’s inaugural season with the Bruins, least of all the player himself. Lindholm was the B’s biggest purchase in the offseason, with the club inking the two-way centerman to a seven-year deal worth $7.

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 B’s lost a third period lead and coughed up the game-winner on a shorthanded goal by Chris Kreider, losing to the New York Rangers, 3-2, at Madison Square Garden.

David Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm score 16 seconds apart to put the Bruins on top of the Rangers.

The Boston Bruins are in the thick of a heated wildcard race in the Eastern Conference, and so too are the New York Rangers. Both teams are desperate for points in the standings, but the Rangers were just a little more so on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden,
