Rask starts Wednesday in Montreal.

Rask stopped all 17 shots that he faced in the Bruins’ shutout win over the Canucks on Saturday. Rask has gone 4-0-2 with a 1.71 GAA and .941 SV% in his last six starts, but tonight he runs into a Canadiens team that has dominated him in his career. In 21 career games against Montreal, Rask has gone 3-14-3 with a 2.74 GAA and .906 SV%, including a loss this season.

The Blue Jackets have recalled Joonas Korpisalo from Lake Erie (AHL).

Korpisalo, 21, was the Blue Jackets third round pick (62nd overall) in 2012. Korpisalo has gone 5-4-2 with a 2.12 GAA and .928 SV% in 11 games with Lake Erie and has been recalled because Sergei Bobrovsky was injured in Tuesday’s loss to the Kings. His recall suggests that Bobrovsky won’t be available for Thursday’s game, in which case Korpisalo will likely dress as Curtis McElhinney’s backup.

Johnson (undisclosed) failed to record a point in 17:40 TOI in his return to the lineup on Sunday.

Johnson missed three games with an undisclosed injury, but returned to the lineup on Sunday. Johnson didn’t record a point, but played a healthy 17:40. Johnson and the Lightning had a lot of hype surrounding them entering the season, but Johnson has just 11 points (4G / 7A) in 22 games this year. He would make for an interesting buy-low option right now.

Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Rask allowed two goals on 26 shots after replacing Jonas Gustavsson in last night’s overtime loss to the Flames. With Gustavsson stinking up the joint yesterday, it is expected to be Rask tonight in Vancouver. Rask has gone 4-1-2 with a 2.19 GAA and .934 SV% in six starts plus last night’s appearance on the road this season.

Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Rask allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Bruins win over the Rangers last Friday. With four days off in between games and Rask riding a three-game winning streak, he makes for a strong start tonight in Edmonton. Over his three-game winning streak he has posted a stellar 1.95 GAA and .934 SV%. His season numbers continue to climb closer to Tuukka Rask-type numbers.

Johnson (undisclosed) missed Monday’s practice.

Johnson has been battling injuries for the last two weeks. Johnson was injured early in last Friday’s game and missed Saturday’s contest. Thankfully for Johnson owners, the Lightning don’t play until Wednesday, but Johnson’s absence from practice puts his status in doubt.

Tyler Johnson
Johnson (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game.

Johnson left after his first shift in his second game back on Friday. Johnson had previously missed three games with an injury and now it looks like he could be back out of the lineup on Saturday. If Johnson can’t play, look for Mike Angelidis to bin the lineup.

Rask starts Friday afternoon vs. the Rangers.

Rask allowed three goals on 42 shots in the Bruins win in Toronto on Monday. Jonas Gustavsson started on Wednesday, so it will be Rask today vs. the Rangers. Rask has won two in a row and three of his last four while posting a 2.21 GAA and .922 SV%. He draws a tough matchup vs. the 16-4-2 Rangers.

Johnson (upper-body) could return on Wednesday vs. the Kings.

On Tuesday, Johnson centred the Lightning’s second line with Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov on his wings. After the practice session he said he is feeling good and optimistic that he will play on Wednesday. Monitor his status during the morning skate, but it looks like he will return after missing the last three games.

Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Rask stopped all 22 shots in the Bruins’ 2-0 shutout win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. It was a nice way to bounce back after giving up five in his previous outing. After posting a shutout, it is not surprising to see Rask start again tonight in Toronto. Rask has gone 3-4-0 with a 2.61 GAA and .905 SV% in November, but makes for a strong start vs. the Leafs.
