Rask stopped 27 of 28 shots in a win over the Canucks on Tuesday. The Canucks offence has bee quiet lately so this was just another day at the office for Rask. With two games left before the Olympic break, Rask appears set to face the Blues in St. Louis. Rask is 9-7-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .916 SV% on the road this season.
Rask allowed three goals on 18 shots before being yanked in Thursday's loss to the Canadiens. Everyone is due for a bad outing every now and then but Rask is still one of the NHL's elite and is a must-start regardless of his matchup. He was pulled after giving up four goals on 23 shots the first time he faced Vancouver.
Rask gave up two goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Panthers. The win was his 24th of the season (5th in the NHL) to go along with a 2.07 GAA (7th), .930 SV% (4th) and five shutouts (1st). He will make his second start against the Habs this season, he stopped 25 of 27 shots in a 2-1 defeat in early December.
Rask stopped 25 of 26 shots in a 6-1 win over the Flyers on Saturday. The win moved him to 23-13-3 with a 2.08 GAA and .930 SV% on the season. Tonight he will go head-to-head with his former teammate Tim Thomas. Rask is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .943 SV% against the Panthers this season.
Rask has only made one start in the last 11 days, so he should be well rest to face the Flyers this afternoon. He has just one win in his last five starts, but the long break should have helped rejuvenate the Finnish netminder. Roll him out as you usually would!

Although Rask started on Sunday, the Bruins are off until Saturday after today's game so there is a good chance that they turn to their number-1 this afternoon. Rask allowed two goals on 37 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks yesterday afternoon. The two goals he allowed were soft, but he otherwise played very well. He will take on the Kings for the second time this month, the first time he was yanked after he allowed three goals on 18 shots in the first 21:45 of the contest.
Rask allowed four goals on 26 shots in a loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. He draws another tough matchup this afternoon in a Stanley Cup rematch from last season. Rask enters play with a 2-3-0 record, 3.00 GAA and .898 SV% this month.
Rask shut the door on all 26 shots that he faced in a 1-0 victory over the Sharks on Saturday. This is evidence that when an elite goalie like Rask is struggling, you can't panic and you run with your big guns. He had allowed 17 goals in his previous five starts, but that can be forgotten after a strong performance like he had on Saturday. Tonight he will face the Maple Leafs for the second time this season, he stopped 34 of 35 shots in a 3-1 win in November.
Bergeron was held out of the Bruins' morning skate, but will face the Maple Leafs tonight. Bergeron has been held off of the score sheet in his last three games, but had a five-game point streak prior to that. He has totalled 25 points (10G / 15A) with a plus-15 rating in 45 games.

Rask gave up five goals on 20 shots in a loss to the Ducks on Tuesday and has struggled recently, but I would be surprised if the Bruins turned to Chad Johnson vs. a tough opponent like Los Angeles.

Rask was given Thursday night off, but will be back in the net this afternoon. He has been shaky lately giving up eight goals on the last 43 shots that he has faced. He draws a great matchup against an even more shaky Ondrej Pavelec and the Jets.
Rask was pulled after allowing three goals on 12 shots in a loss to the Senators on Saturday. It was an ugly outing for Rask who had just shutout the Sens the night prior and had won four straight entering play. Tonight he will face the Islanders at home where he is 13-3-2 with a 1.48 GAA and .949 SV%.
Rask stopped all 33 shots that he faced in a 5-0 shutout win over the Senators on Friday. It appears he will get the call again, this time in Ottawa. The win was his 20th of the season and his 4th shutout. He continues to be a steady force in the Bruins net and is a must-start tonight should he actually get the call.
