The Bruins had no trouble getting the puck past Lundqvist in Game 2 but at the same time Rask stole the game for the B's. He stopped 35 of 37 shots in the 5-2 win. Both goalies have seen a ton of rubber this series. Lundqvist has faced 80 shots while Rask has seen 72 thrown his way. Another good outing from Rask tonight and the Bruins are just one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals.
Seidenberg has been dealing with a leg injury that he suffered in Game 7 f the first round vs. Toronto. He has missed Games 1 and 2 vs. the Rangers and it doesn't sound like he'll be a part of Game 3.
Lundqvist has been battling a shoulder problem but he says "It's under control, I landed on the ice awkwardly and it hurt a little bit. It's under control." He allowed five goals on 32 shots in the 5-2 loss in Game 2. He has seen 80 shots through the first two games, stopping 72 of them (.900 SV%). The Rangers head-home down 2-0 needing a win tonight at Madison Square Gardens.
Beauchemin played the first round vs. the Red Wings with a torn ACL.
Spezza, who played for the first time since a herniated disc in his back shelved him on Jan. 27, had a relatively steady night, finishing with 18:40 of ice time and winning 60 percent of his faceoffs. He is a huge addition to the Senators lineup and should help Ottawa upfront vs. a strong Penguins team.
Latendresse had six goals and four assists in 27 games this season.
Benoit scored three goals and added seven assists in 33 games for the Senators this season.
Gryba is averaging 12:10 per game in the playoffs but has yet to record a point.
Anderson allowed four goals on 30 shots in the 4-1 loss in Game 1. He will be under siege all series and will need to play outstanding if the Sens are going to have a chance.
Vokoun continued his strong post-season with a 35 save performance in Game 1. The only goal he allowed was a jam play early in the first period, but he bounced back and shut the door on the Senators. Vokoun has posted a 1.28 GAA and .962 SV% in three starts.
Stoll just played 10:25 before getting hit by Raffi Torres. He left the game and did not return.
Richardson appeared in 16 games for the Kings this season posting one goal and five assists.
The Sharks were all over the Kings in Game 1 but still lost. Niemi allowed two goals on 20 shots in the 2-0 loss. They will need Niemi to steal a few games in this series because Jonathan Quick already stole one for the Kings.
Quick continued his stellar play from round one in Game 1 against the Sharks. He stopped all 35 shots that he faced in a 2-0 win. He now has a 1.36 GAA and .953 SV% in seven starts in the post-season.
Krug posted 13 goals and 32 assists (45 points) in 63 games in the AHL with the Providence Bruins. He only appeared in one game with Boston this season, in which he had one assist.
Hamilton appeared in three games in the first round. He posted no points and averaged 15:09 time-on-ice in three games.
Bartowski scored a big goal and played 24:51 in Game 7 vs. the Maple Leafs. He will likely have to play big minutes again tonight with the Bruins missing some key defensemen.

Ference missed Games 6 and 7 in the first round and he will miss Game 1 vs. the Rangers with a lower-body injury.
