Carl Soderberg News

Coach Claude Julien said Carl Söderberg skated earlier today though he did not join the team on the ice for practice.

Apparently Söderberg did actually skate this morning, just not with his Bruins teammates. This is a good sign that his recovery is going well. He could return to the lineup on Thursday.

Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli said Soderberg was placed on IR Friday after being injured in Saskatoon. He is not available to play tomorrow but would be for Saturday if he is healthy.

Jordan Caron will take Soderberg's spot on the Bruins third line in tomorrow's tilt with Tampa Bay.

Soderberg is reportedly dealing with a 'minor' undisclosed injury that has landed him on the short-term injured reserve.

He has to miss at least the next seven days, which means he will not play in the Bruins first two games. Expect the Bruins to make a roster move. Jordan Caron is the likely candidate to be recalled.

Carl Soderberg’s arrival in Boston has been delayed. As TSN first reported, the Swedish federation has declined to issue Soderberg his transfer card, thereby preventing him from reporting to the NHL.

The Bruins have already signed Soderberg to a three-year contract. Soderberg has also negotiated his exit deal with Linkoping, his Swedish club. The NHL is entering a five-day period to determine its next move, according to a source familiar with the situation. The NHL could go against the Swedes and stamp Soderberg’s transfer card. If that happens and the Swedish federation balks, the issue might have to be settled in an arbitration court. Soderberg still wants to play for the Bruins.

The Boston Bruins have reached an agreement on a multi-year contract with Carl Soderberg, as the Swedish forward's team Linkoping has finalized his release.

Soderberg, 27, is expected to join the team and play in the postseason. The Bruins acquired Soderberg in 2007 in a trade with the St. Louis Blues. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound centre had 31 goals and 60 points in 54 games with Linkoping this season. Soderberg was selected 49th overall by the Blues in the 2004 NHL Draft.
