The Bruins got an influx of healthy bodies Wednesday morning as Carl Soderberg skated with the team for the first time, while both Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand (concussions) have been cleared and will be in the lineup for what figures to be an emotional contest against the Sabres.

Soderberg, who arrived Tuesday from Sweden, participated in morning skate on Wednesday but will not be in the lineup against the Sabres. The Bruins feel that it will be beneficial to both Soderberg and the team for him to get some practices in and watch the team from the press box before jumping into game action.

Wade Redden will make his Bruins debut on Wednesday, with it unknown which Bruins defenseman will sit. Andrew Ference was supposed to be a healthy scratch on Monday before the game was postponed, but Adam McQuaid and Matt Bartkowski stayed on the ice a little longer than teammates, suggesting they might be the scratches.

There was a heavy amount of rotating in line rushes for the B’s in Wednesday’s practice, but here’s what the forward lines looked like:

Gregory Campbell – David Krejci – Jaromir Jagr
Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – Tyler Seguin
Daniel Paille – Chris Kelly – Nathan Horton
Milan Lucic – Rich Peverley – Shawn Thornton

The goaltenders left the ice at pretty much the same time, but it was Anton Khudobin who was the first off. Given the time between games, it would be a bit surprising to see Tuukka Rask sit Wednesday, so stay tuned on that front.

The NHL announced Tuesday that Monday’s game between the Bruins and Senators has been rescheduled for Sunday, April 28 at TD Garden. The game will be played at 7 p.m.

The game was initially scheduled for Monday night, but was postponed due to the Boston Marathon bombings.

The Bruins sent forward Jordan Caron to Providence following Tuesday’s practice. The move comes a day before Carl Soderberg is expected to take the ice for the first time with the Bruins for Wednesday’s morning skate.

In five NHL games this season, Caron has one goal and two assists for three points.

WILMINGTON — One of the reason Boston is considered such a great sports town is because of the standard it sets. It isn’t for everyone. Star players have failed here, because it takes a certain kind of player to embrace Boston and everything that comes with it.

Andrew Ference is one of those players. Since being traded to the Bruins in 2007, he’s soaked up every bit of it. When the Bruins won the Cup, he put it in a baby stroller and walked it around the North End. Though he’s an Edmonton native, he’s really taken to being a Bostonian, so when he puts on his jersey Wednesday night and takes the ice, he won’t feel a sudden attachment to the city in wake of Monday’s bombings.

“You’re always proud. It’s not like we’re just here today all of a sudden saying, ‘We love Boston,’” Ference said. “This is a team that’s woven itself into the neighborhoods that they live in. They’ve really embraced the fact that they’re residents here. I don’t think anybody just feels like they’re here for a visit. That’s been a special part about our team, so I think that something like this obviously magnifies all the things that [make] you care about the city. You’re proud no matter what to not just be part of a sports team, but part of the community. That’s why people love it here so much.”

Ference, 34, has also played for the Penguins and Flames in his career, but he’s really made a home in Boston, like so many other Bruins. The Bruins’ roster has everything from organizational lifers (Patrice Bergeron) to former journeymen who eventually became mainstays (Shawn Thornton) and everything in between. Ference’s love for the city is obvious, as is the case with guys like Nathan Horton, and the alternate captain said there’s no shortage of reasons why.

“It’s a great community. People look you in the eye and they talk to each other. People aren’t strangers here. I think that’s why guys love playing here and living here and have fully embraced different events,” Ference said. “We’ve had tons of families that go to different things that the city offers. … If we [didn't have a game scheduled] last night, the whole team probably would have been down there. It’s not like we just hole up in our houses. Guys are really part of the city. What’s not to love?”

WILMINGTON — After postponing Monday’s game against the Senators in wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, the Bruins took the ice Tuesday at Ristuccia Arena.

“I think it was one of those days when you practice with heavy hearts,” coach Claude Julien said. “Obviously, we have a job to do and we still have to do our job, but I think our guys in there are proud of the city they represent, Boston. As much as it was hard to really go out there today and give your all, I think our guys did a good job. But practice is over and our thoughts are back to those people affected by it. Boston, for me personally and my family is a city we’ve fallen in love with. When you something like that happen, there’s no doubt it affects you as an individual, and even as us as a group.”

The B’s did some power-play work before beginning a full practice at 11:30. All players were accounted for, including Brad Marchand (concussion). Marchand, who was skating for the third straight day, was in a green jersey with spare forwards Jay Pandolfo and Jordan Caron. A good sign for the B’s is that Marchand did not seem limited, taking contact for the first time since suffering his concussion last Wednesday.

The lines were as follows:

Gregory Campbell – David Krejci – Jaromir Jagr
Milan Lucic – Patrice Bergeron – Tyler Seguin
Daniel Paille – Chris Kelly – Nathan Horton
Kaspars Daugavins – Rich Peverley – Shawn Thornton

Extra forwards: Brad Marchand, Jay Pandolfo, Jordan Caron

Patrice Bergeron was expected to be examined prior to Monday’s game, but he was not cleared given Monday’s events. Claude Julien said following Tuesday’s practice that Bergeron is “highly probable” to play Wednesday, assuming there is a game.

Bruins past and present expressed their condolences in the aftermath of Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon. The Bruins weren’t the only ones in the hockey world concerned, as the rival Canadiens held a moment of silence prior to their game against the Flyers Monday.

This is not good in Boston right now. Explosions at the marathon on Boylston.

Way too many friends down there today, I feel sick. — Andrew Ference (@Ferknuckle) April 15, 2013

Told them that although there might be a bad person out there, we saw thousands who ran to help.Way more good people in this world than bad.

In announcing the postponing of Monday night’s game against the Senators in wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Bruins president Cam Neely issued the following statement:

“After consultation with City, State and NHL officials we collectively made the decision to postpone tonight’s game. Public safety personnel from the City and State are still gathering information regarding today’s events and it is vital they have all resources available for their investigation. The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the Bruins organization are with the city of Boston and all those affected by today’s tragedy.”
