They are at polar opposites in paydays, but not in production. Tuesday night, former Bruins’ defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Johnny Boychuk will be side by side once again on the TD Garden blue line.
But adorned in orange and blue – not black and gold after hoisting Lord Stanley together in 2011.
Boychuk, the beloved Bruin, whose youthful brawn endeared him to the Hub of Hockey from 2008-2014 before former general manager Peter Chiarelli traded him to the Islanders for a bag of pucks in the form of low draft picks. Seidenberg, the cagy veteran who entered the NHL from his native Germany in 2002 and played in Boston from 2009-2016 before current GM Don Sweeney decided to buy out the remaining two years of his contract last summer.
