Johnson (undisclosed) “should be in” Wednesday vs. the Sabres.

Rask led the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Rask allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Bruins loss in Toronto on Saturday. After a ridiculous run, Rask has now lost two go his last three games while allowing a combined nine goals on 73 shots (.877 SV%). Despite the rough stretch, Rask is a must-start on home-ice vs. the Hurricanes—he is 15-5-2 with a 1.94 GAA and .930 SV% at the TD Garden this season.

Bergeron will miss at least two weeks with a fractured right foot.

Bergeron was hurt in Toronto on Saturday but ended up playing 17:59 TOI in Sunday’s game in Buffalo. It seems like he may have played through the fractured foot and it was discovered this week. Bergeron will miss at least two weeks and will be re-evaluated after that. Riley Nash will take his place on the top line tonight and David Backes will take his spot on the top power-play.

Bergeron (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Sunday.

Bergeron was seen wearing a walking book on his right leg following Saturday’s loss to the Maple Leafs. A walking boot can often indicate a lengthy injury absence, but the fact that he is considered a game-time decision suggests that he may not be out as long as originally feared.

Rask will start against the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Rask stopped 28 of 29 shots in the Bruins’ 2-1 victory over the Flames on Monday. It was a nice bounce-back performance for Rask, who was lit up for four goals on just eight shots against the Canucks last Saturday. He draws a tough matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs, but will get the added benefit of dodging the injured Auston Matthews.
