Goalie Start
Rask starts Game 1 in Washington.
Rask will miss his 11th straight game on Tuesday but he practiced today and is targeting a return on Thursday. Rask went 8-4-2 with a 2.40 GAA and .907 SV% in 15 games this season.
Rask was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will not dress vs. the Rangers. Dan Vladar will be Jaroslav Halak's backup and Rask should be considered day-to-day.
