NEW YORK CITYDennis Seidenberg hasnt missed a day of practice with the Bruins, but will miss his second straight game with a lower body injury. The German defenseman took part in morning skate at Madison Square Garden, but wasnt out on the ice for warm-ups prior to Wednesday nights tilt with the New York Rangers.
Claude Julien said after the morning skate that he was very hopeful Seidenberg would play, but that he would be a game time decision. Seidenberg appeared to hurt one of his legs in a third period collision with Ryan Callahan in last weekend's season opener, and hasn't played in a game since.
Brad Marchand was out there in his customary spot on the left wing alongside Patrice Bergeron and Tyler Seguin, so it appears that Aaron Johnson will play in his second straight game for the Black and Gold.
Here are the line combos and defenseman pairings with 19-year-old Dougie Hamilton playing with his third straight different partner in three games. Tuukka Rask was the first goaltender out on the ice for warm-ups in a Bruins sweater and will get his third straight start for the Bs.Lucic-Krejci-HortonMarchand-Bergeron-SeguinBourque-Kelly-PeverleyPaille-Campbell-ThorntonChara-BoychukFerence-HamiltonMcQuaid-JohnsonRask
