Soderberg is projected to center a line featuring Chris Kelly and Matt Fraser on Tuesday against the Islanders, the Bruins' official site reports.

Analysis:

It's a trio that could remain in place to start the season, thanks to Fraser's strong preseason. In any case, the 6-3 Soderberg, who recorded 48 points in 73 games with the Bruins last season, is a candidate to see an uptick in production, while opening the season at his preferred position (center) and with a power-play role on tap.
