BOSTON -- Bruins forward Daniel Paille has been medically cleared for game action, and he'll be ready for the team's second-round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens.

"I feel unbelievable right now and I want to continue that throughout this week," Paille said.

The Bruins received another dose of good news Tuesday when defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, who tore an ACL and MCL in late December and had surgery on Jan. 7, participated in his first team practice in four months.

Coach Claude Julien tried to downplay his return, but it appeared to be an indication that Seidenberg could play if the Bruins go deep into the playoffs.

"I think they're happy to see him come on the ice with us," Julien said. "Everybody's focused on the playoffs here, and he's just skating with us and doing everything that has no contact. It's more to get him out of boredom. We want to give him the opportunity to make some plays and passes with a little bit of traffic around him, too. We thought it was a good time for him. He's strong enough with his skating that he can jump to that level right now."

The Bruins defeated the Detroit Red Wings in the first round without Paille, as forward Jordan Caron was on the team's energy line, along with Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton. While Caron played well, the Bruins are a better team with Paille in the lineup, especially in short-handed situations.

Julien said he hasn't decided on his lineup for the Canadiens series.

"We'll see where we are," Julien said. "The series hasn't started yet, and I haven't made any decisions yet, so let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here."

Paille has been skating on his own for a week.
