Seidenberg could return for Bruins

BOSTON -- Boston Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg might make his return to the lineup Friday when his team hosts the New York Islanders on Friday at TD Garden.

Seidenberg has missed the Bruins' last two games due to a lower-body injury. He skated Friday morning and has been on the ice a couple times between games this week.

"Something like that can happen to a guy that's in the best shape of his life," Seidenberg, who was one of 12 Bruins to play overseas during the lockout, said. "So it's not anything you could've prevented. So you've just got to deal with it and try to get back."

With the Islanders playing the second half of back-to-back games, coach Jack Capuano has decided to give Rick DiPietro the start in goal in his hometown after Evgeni Nabokov beat Toronto on Thursday. It will be DiPietro's first start since Dec. 3, 2011.

Here are the projected lineups for both teams:

BRUINS

Milan Lucic - David Krejci - Nathan Horton

Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - Tyler Seguin

Chris Bourque - Chris Kelly - Rich Peverley

Daniel Paille - Gregory Campbell - Shawn Thornton
