Tuukka Rask News

As expected, Rask starts for the Bruins.

Rask turned aside 33 of 34 shots to carry to the Bruins to a win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. After a solid October, Rask has been spectacular in November - he carries a 2-0-1 record with a 1.30 GAA and .957 SV% into this Veteran's Day matinee with the Lightning. Steven Stamkos has six game goal streak (7G in 6 games), so this is not a great matchup - but Rask is a must-start regardless of who the opposition is.
