Dennis Seidenberg out with lower-body injury 01.21.13 at 12:16 pm ET

Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg will not play in Monday’s matinee against the Jets due to a lower-body injury, according to the team. Aaron Johnson is in the lineup in his place. The team said Seidenberg is day-to-day.

Based on pre-game warmups, Dougie Hamilton, Seidenberg’s partner in the season-opener, will skate on a pairing with Zdeno Chara. The other pairings are Andrew Ference-Adam McQuaid and Johnson-Johnny Boychuk.

Claude Julien said prior to Monday’s matinee that it will be Tuukka Rask in net for the B’s. Rask, who inherited the No. 1 netminding job with Tim Thomas taking the year off, made 20 saves on 21 shots in the season-opening win over the Rangers Saturday.

    Staying healthy in a short season will be key.  Hopefully Seid can come back soon, but its more important that he waits until he is totally healthy.  Rask is a fine goal tender.  You can’t rely on the kind of heroics Thomas came up with in 2011.  There is a reason the whole hockey world was raving about Thomas’ cup run, that kind of goalie performance is EXTREMELY rare.  With a functional power play (hamilton moving the puck on PP now), a more productive offense (horty’s back and Seguin’s developing) and the same solid blue liners we’ve become famous for, we will have plenty of support for a talented net-minder like rask…as long as the injury bug doesn’t thin out our ranks.
