Carl Soderberg (ankle) practiced on the Bruins' third line on Friday. Soderberg has been cleared to play and is no longer being listed on the Bruins' injured reserve. It looks like he's available for Saturday's contest, although Bruins coach Claude Julien hasn't committed to using him in that game.

According to coach Claude Julien, Carl Soderberg (ankle) is probably a game or two away from being able to play. He took full contact for the first time in Wednesday's practice. Julien would like to get Soderberg into the lineup when he's able to return, but he added that he won't force him back into the fold if other players are playing well.

Carl Soderberg practiced with his Boston teammates on Friday. It was the first time the forward worked out with the Bruins' full squad since he injured his ankle in the pre-season. However, it does appear that Soderberg will be out of action for a little longer. When he does return to the Boston lineup he will have to fight to regian his third-line spot.

Carl Soderberg (ankle) still hasn't resumed practices, but he skated again Tuesday. Coach Claude Julien said that Soderberg is considered day-to-day and he believes that the Bruins winger is getting closer to being able to practice with his teammates. He is encouraged by Soderberg's progress, but it remains unclear when he'll be cleared to play.

Carl Soderberg (ankle) was on the ice prior to the Bruins' practice on Monday. The Bruins don't play again until Thursday and it remains to be seen if he'll be available for that contest. He hasn't played yet this season.

Carl Soderberg (ankle) will not be in the Boston lineup Saturday. Soderberg is unable to skate at this time and the third liner will be replaced by Jordan Caron in the lineup.

Carl Soderberg (ankle) didn't skate Friday and a timetable for his return remains unclear. "It's a hard injury to say, listen, he's going to be in on Sunday or Monday," coach Claude Julien said. "It's hard to really pinpoint with that type of injury, but he is definitely getting better every day. I think he really is getting close. Hopefully, if there's no setbacks, he should be on the ice soon." As long as he's out, Jordan Caron will continue to play in his place.

Carl Soderberg (ankle) won't be available for Thursday's contest because he's on injured reserve. He landed on Boston's IR list after Friday's exhibition game and he won't be eligible to suit up until Saturday's game at the earliest. However, he's uncertain when he'll be able to return. "It feels much better, so we will see," he said. "We can take a couple of days, but we have no idea."

Carl Soderberg's previously undisclosed ailment is an ankle injury. Soderberg missed Tuesday's practice and is doubtful for the Bruins season opener. "There's some swelling there. We don't know exactly for sure until that swelling goes down. He's going to be a little bit longer," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. Soderberg is projected to play on the third line when he's healthy.

Carl Soderberg missed Sunday's practice with an undisclosed injury. He was hurt when he caught a rut in the ice in Friday's preseason game against Winnipeg. Soderberg is being listed as day-to-day, but coach Claude Julien isn't sure about his status. "We had first deemed it minor, and now its questionable," he said.
