Tuukka Rask News

Rask was the first goalie off of the ice at the Bruins morning skate; expected to start.

Rask stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Bruins’ win in Winnipeg on Monday. It was an excellent outing for the Finnish netminder, who is now 2-0-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .939 SV% to start the young season. This is exactly the start Rask needed coming off of a disappointing 2015-16 season by his lofty standards. He draws a great matchup tonight vs. the low-scoring Devils.

Rask was set to start Saturday’s game in Toronto, but he was held out because he was dinged up. The Bruins are optimistic that Rask will be good to go tonight, but there will not be confirmation until after their morning skate. Rask stopped 28 of 31 shots in the Bruins’ season opening win in Columbus last Thursday.

Rask allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Bruins win in Columbus on Thursday. Rask allowed two goals in the first period, but settled in nicely and was able to secure his first win of the season. Rask will try and string two wins together tonight vs. a Maple Leafs team that he dominated last year. The Finnish netminder was 4-0-1 with a 1.95 GAA and .935 SV% in five starts against Toronto in 2015-16.

By Rask’s standards, 2015-16 wasn’t a good year for the Bruins’ netminder. However, he still won 31 games with 2.56 GAA and .915 SV%. The 29-year-old has been one of the better goalies in the NHL for the better part of seven season and should improve on last year’s numbers in 2016-17. He is a solidified No.1 in Boston and in fantasy circles and could get off to a nice start in Columbus. Rask was 17-8-3 with a 2.37 GAA and .924 SV% in 30 starts on the road last year--significantly better than his home numbers. Surprisingly.
