Bruins sign Seidenberg to 4-year extension
BOSTON — The Boston Bruins have signed defenseman Dennis Seidenberg to a four-year contract extension.
General manager Peter Chiarelli announced the move on Saturday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Seidenberg has played in 374 regular season games and has 18 goals, 98 assists in seven NHL seasons.
Seidenberg was traded from Florida to Boston with Matt Bartkowski at the trade deadline.
He played 17 games for the Bruins and had two goals and seven assists.
Seidenberg missed the final four games of the regular season and the playoffs after suffering a lacerated tendon in his forearm on April 3. He had surgery three days later to fix the injury.
Wild’s Bouchard still hurting
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Pierre-Marc Bouchard’s future remains as unclear today as it did two months ago, and throughout his lost season.
The 26-year-old Wild playmaker said Friday that although he feels progression, he’s still “not really exercising” and continues to feel effects of post-concussion syndrome.
“I’m not 100 percent,” said Bouchard, the Wild’s third-leading all-time scorer, but one limited to only the season opener last season. “I’m still missing a little something. I still don’t feel normal — like I used to.”
On Monday, Bouchard is scheduled to go to Boston University to be examined by a concussion specialist who has treated numerous professional athletes, including NHLers Marc Savard, Patrice Bergeron and the Wild’s Brent Burns.
