Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien isn't expecting Dennis Seidenberg (lower body) to return to the lineup for Tuesday's Game 3.
Seidenberg was out on the ice for the second straight day but apparently still has a little ways to go before returning to game action. Wade Redden (undisclosed) also appears unlikely to play Tuesday night. The Bruins have been able to weather the injuries to their blueline thanks to the outstanding play of young defenseman Torey Krug, who's scored two goals through the first two games of the series.

Dennis Seidenberg joined his teammates for Monday's practice for the first time since he suffered a lower-body injury in Game 7 against Toronto.

He will travel with the Bruins when their semifinal series shifts to New York for Game 3 on Tuesday night. However, it hasn't been decided yet when he will be able to return to game action.

The Boston Bruins will be without defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Wade Redden during Sunday's Game 2 against the New York Rangers.

Seidenberg was ruled out by Saturday, but Redden seemed like he had a chance to return. We'll see if either player can make it for Game 3 on Tuesday.
May 19 - 1:59 PM

Dennis Seidenberg's (lower body) probably won't return on Sunday.

Seidenberg was on the ice prior to the Bruins' practice on Saturday. "I don’t know the situation with him, with Seidenberg obviously doing better," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "I don’t anticipate him being ready for [Sunday], but with the injury he’s got, you never know."
May 18 - 6:28 PM

Dennis Seidenberg (lower body) participated in an off-ice workout on Friday.

The Boston Bruins didn't hold a team practice on Friday. Seidenberg missed Game 1 of the second round due to the ailment, but he might return on Sunday.

Dennis Seidenberg (lower body) probably won't play Thursday night in Game 1.

He didn't participate in the morning skate and didn't practice on Wednesday either.
May 16 - 1:44 PM

Dennis Seidenberg (lower body) was a no-show at Wednesday's practice.

He played just two shifts for 37 seconds of ice time in Monday's Game 7 win against Toronto. It isn't clear if he'll be available to play in Game 1 against the New York Rangers Thursday, but for now he should be considered doubtful.

Dennis Seidenberg played only 37 seconds in Game 7 after suffering a leg injury.

The rearguard limped off following a leg-on-leg collision with the Leafs' Matt Frattin, so the team had to play most of the game with only five defensemen. It is unclear how serious the injury is; the Bruins expect to learn more Tuesday. "He wanted to (continue), but when he couldn’t, it was better to take (him) out than to make it worse," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "It wouldn’t have helped us, plus, it would have made his injury probably even worse."

Dennis Seidenberg registered a goal and added an assist for the Bruins in a 4-2 loss to Ottawa Sunday.

Rich Peverley also picked up a power play marker in the losing effort for Boston while Milan Lucic delivered a solid all-around line with an assist and five penalty minutes.

The Bruins again might be reuniting Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg in the postseason.

The two were back together again against the Lightning, keeping the Teddy Purcell-Steven Stamkos-Martin St. Louis line pointless. The shutdown duo has been together the past two postseasons, but it's only been together for brief stretches this season. Against a top-heavy first line, the pair could be used again in the playoffs. You could see that we feel comfortable with each other," said Seidenberg. "We keep it simple. We talk to each other. We communicate well out there. It resulted in us shutting them down, for the most part."
Apr 26 - 8:38 AM

Dennis Seidenberg scored his second goal of the season in a 3-2 loss Saturday.

Seidenberg has now found the back of the net in back-to-back contests. Andrew Ference scored with just 1:16 minutes remaining in regulation time, but it proved to be too little, too late. Brad Marchand, David Krejci, and Rich Peverley each registered an assist in the losing effort.
Mar 23 - 10:10 PM

Dennis Seidenberg was the unlikely hero for the Bruins in a 2-1 win over Ottawa Thursday night.

Seidenberg's first goal of the season broke a 1-1 tie in the third period and went on to stand as the eventual game-winner. Daniel Paille also notched his sixth of the season in the victory.
Mar 22 - 1:15 AM

Dennis Seidenberg has been working on Boston's top power-play unit lately, but it's a move that coach Claude Julien doesn't expect to last.

Julien thinks Seidenberg's shooting has been inconsistent this season. Julien also doesn't want to be burned once a man advantage situation is over and he can't get Zdeno Chara or Seidenberg out on the ice against the opposition's top line. Seidenberg has no goals, six assists and just 29 shots in 20 games.
Mar 11 - 9:17 AM

Dennis Seidenberg contributed two assists in Boston's comeback that fell just short against the New York Rangers Tuesday night.

The Bruins rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the third period before losing in the shootout. Seidenberg had four shots and a plus-2 rating as well in the contest. He replaced rookie Dougie Hamilton on Boston's top power-play unit during the third period because coach Claude Julien was impressed with his play.
Feb 13 - 9:34 AM

Dennis Seidenberg got his first point of the season on Sunday.

Seidenberg assisted on Milan Lucic's empty-net goal. The fact that it took him eight games to get his first point is a bit of an anomaly. He's not a pure offensive defenseman, but he usually puts up a moderate amount of points by blueliner standards and that shouldn't change this season. He's a fringe defenseman in standard fantasy leagues, but if you happen to use hits and blocked shots as categories, then Seidenberg is one of the most well-rounded defensemen in the league.
