Seidenberg -- who had missed two straight games with an unspecified issue -- saw 18:29 worth of ice time in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

In the process, Seidenberg logged two PIM and five hits, while seeing 1:32 worth of penalty-killing time. Through 11 games overall, the 34-year-old blueliner has notched three helpers, a figure indicative of his modest upside of offense. Still, Seidenberg's rugged and defensively-sound play remain assets to the Bruins' back line.

Seidenberg participated in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he will play Wednesday against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old blueliner missed the Bruins' last two games with an undisclosed injury, but has apparently recovered from the ailment, and will draw back into Boston's lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Montreal. Seidenberg has tallied three assists in 10 games this season.

Seidenberg (undisclosed) and Colin Miller worked as the Bruins' fourth defensive pair during Wednesday morning's skate.

EDGE Analysis

Seidenberg has sat out the B's last two games with an undisclosed injury, per WEEI.com, and based on the team's morning skate, it looks like the veteran blueliner is unlikely to return to the team's lineup Wednesday night against the Canadiens.

Seidenberg (undisclosed) was on ice for warmups and thus can be expected to play on Monday against Nashville, Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seidenberg will likely be providing depth for the Bruins defensive lines against the Predators. The 34-year-old German has tallied three assists in 10 games for Boston this season.

Coach Claude Julien relayed that Seidenberg and Colin Miller were scratched Saturday against the Canucks as a result of the Bruins giving the duo "maintenance days," the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains to be seen if Seidenberg returns to the mix for Monday night's game against the Predators, but with Adam McQuaid now banged up, the B's blue line could use Seidenberg's sturdy presence for the contest, health permitting. To date, the veteran blueliner has recorded three helpers and two PIM in 10 games.

Seidenberg notched a pair of assists for his first two points of the season Tuesday in a 5-4 loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

That's a tough result, but you can't blame it on the veteran blueliner, who'd gone without a point in his first two games after returning from a back injury, but has seen his ice time slowly ramp up. Don't expect many offensive outbursts like this one, though -- he hasn't even approached 30 points since the 2010-11 season.

In his first game of the season following back surgery in September, Seidenberg saw 15:34 worth of ice time in the Bruins' 3-2 loss to the Avs on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

In the process, Seidenberg recorded a team-high six hits and a pair of blocked shots in the contest. While the veteran blueliner doesn't bring much offensive upside to the table, he adds a sturdy veteran presence to a Boston backline that figures to help the B's tighten things up a bit in front of goalies Tuukka Rask and Jonas Gustavsson moving forward.

Seidenberg will make his season debut Thursday against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Seidenberg was a game-time decision for Thursday night's tilt against the Avalanche, but participated in rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he will make his season debut in Thursday night's matchup with Colorado. He is expected to skate alongside Kevan Miller on the Bruins' second pairing in Thursday's contest.

Seidenberg (back) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Avs, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seidenberg, who underwent back surgery in late September, has been practicing of late and taking contact in the process. He's now to the point where coach Claude Julien says that "there's a good possibility" that the veteran blueliner will suit up Thursday. In 82 games last season, Seidenberg recorded 14 points and 34 PIM, numbers that limit his fantasy utility, but given his rugged and defensively-sound play, the 34-year-old remains an asset to the B's back line.

Seidenberg (back) will join his team on a three-game road trip that begins Thursday in Washington, but he will only participate in practice.

EDGE Analysis

Seidenberg is still recovering from back surgery dating back to Sept. 24. He's been skating in practice recently, and his traveling with the team suggests the veteran shutdown blueliner is inching closer to a return to game ice.
