Rask was fantastic allowed one goal on 44 shots in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday. There was talk of potentially giving Chad Johnson the start, but I'm sure Claude Julien is happy he went with Rask.

Rask allowed one goal on 24 shots in a win over the Hurricanes last night. He gets the call again tonight in New York vs. the Rangers. He is always a must-start.
Zadorov was the 16th overall pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft. He only played in seven games with the Sabres so the first year of his entry level contract will not be in effect this season. He heads back to London where he had six goals and 25 points in 63 games last season.

Rask posted his second shutout of the season in a 28-save performance over the Lightning on Monday. He has won three straight with a 0.67 GAA and .977 SV%. Rask has a solid matchup vs. a Senators team who just got blown out by the Flyers.
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.

Rask stopped 23 shots in an easy 4-1 win over the Panthers on Thursday. The Maple Leafs have been outshot in 13 straight games, so Rask figures to be in for another quiet night - but when Phil Kessel is on the ice he will need to be on top of his game.

Zadorov was the 16th pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft, is a big, physical defenseman who loves to throw his weight around.

He had no points in 11:01 TOI in his NHL debut.
