Seidenberg (knee) is expected to play in Tuesday's preseason opener against Montreal, the Bruins' official site reports.

Analysis:

Seidenberg played in Sunday night's scrimmage, and reported no ill-effects afterward, the Boston Globe reports. Though it may take some time for the sturdy blueliner -- who is bouncing back from January knee surgery -- to shake off the rust, he's firmly on track to be in the Bruins' lineup to start the coming season, assuming no injury setbacks.
