Boston Bruins News

Bruins have four days off before their next game, expect Rask to get the call tonight.

Rask stopped 18 of 19 shots in a 2-1 victory over the Panthers on Tuesday. He has won four of his last five starts, while registering a 2.19 GAA and .930 SV% over that span. He is as good as they come and he is a must-start tonight vs. the visiting Oilers. Rask is 4-2-0 at home this season.

Krejci (hip) is questionable to return to the Bruins’ lineup on Thursday.

Krejci was on the ice for the Bruins’ optional morning skate and might take warmups tonight. He has missed the last two games, but it would make more sense if they sit him out one more game and let him rest over the weekend before they play New Jersey on Monday. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups.

Krejci (hip) has officially been ruled out for Tuesday.

Krejci will miss his second straight game with lingering pain in the same hip that caused him to miss three games at the start of the season. Head coach Claude Julien said that he does not think the injury is serious and expects to have Krejci back in the lineup soon.

Rask gets the call for the Bruins on Tuesday.

Rask stopped 27 of 29 shots in the Bruins 4-2 win over the Senators on Saturday. October was not Rask's best month, but he has turned things around as of late, winning three of his last four starts with a 2.52 GAA and .928 SV%. He is a must-start tonight with the Panthers in Beantown.

Krejci (hip) is not on the ice for the Bruins morning skate.

Krejci was not at practice on Monday either so it looks like he will miss his second straight game with lingering hip pain. Chris Kelly will centre Milan Lucic and Seth Griffith with Krejci out. Head coach Claude Julien called him day-to-day on Monday.

Krejci (hip) is day-to-day according to head coach Claude Julien.

Krejci is reportedly still dealing with the hip injury that caused him to miss the first three games of the season. He was playing through the pain, but he grew too be too painful to play through. Hip pain can be extremely painful, so consider Krejci doubtful for Tuesday.

Krejci (undisclosed) is not on the ice for practice this morning.

Krejci was a late scratch from Saturday's game vs. the Senators and his absence at Monday's practice puts his status for Tuesday in question. Chris Kelly remained between Milan Lucic and Seth Griffith this morning, so expect that line to stay together if Krejci is unavailable on Tuesday. The Bruins' pivot has nine points (3G / 6A) in nine games this season.

Rask led the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Rask gave up four goals on 42 shots in the Bruins loss to the Wild on Tuesday. Rask is off to a 4-4-0 start to the season and will be under more pressure than normal with Zdeno Chara and Torey Krug both out of the lineup. However, he remains an elite fantasy option and should be in your lineup vs. Ottawa.

Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Rask turned aside 32 of 33 shots in the Bruins 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. After facing an average of just 22 shots in his first four starts and posting an .852 SV%, Rask has faced 33.5 shots per game in his last two games and posted a .940 SV%. Maybe the heavy workload helps him? Hopefully so because that trend should continue with Zdeno Chara out of the lineup.

Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups he starts vs. Toronto.

Rask allowed three goals on 34 shots in a win over the Sharks on Tuesday. He sat on Wednesday, so it is no surprise to see him back between the pipes tonight vs. the Leafs. It has been a rough start to the year for Rask, but he is a must-start regardless.

Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups; he starts.

Tonight will mark Rask's first start since last Thursday when he was yanked in the third vs. Montreal after allowed five goals on 23 shots. It has not been an ideal start to the season for Rask or the Bruins and things will not be easy on them tonight with the San Jose Sharks in town. That said, Rask is elite and does not belong on your bench.

The Hurricanes have sent Patrick Brown to Charlotte (AHL).

Brown, 22, made his NHL debut with Carolina on Opening Night, Oct. 10, and has averaged 9:37 of ice time while playing in all four of the Hurricanes’ games this season. In 2013-14, he scored 15 goals and earned 15 assists (30 points) in 40 games during his senior season at Boston College.

Rask leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Rask allowed two goals on 20 shots and stopped both shootout attempts he faced in the Bruins 3-2 shootout victory vs. the Red Wings last night. It was Rask's second win in four starts and he comes into tonight carrying a 2.22 GAA an .894 SV% on the season. Rask vs. Price, it should be a great battle.

Rask surrendered four goals on 21 shots in a loss to the Capitals on Saturday. The Bruins have only scored three goals in front of Rask in his first three starts, but Rask has only posted an .892 SV% so far, so neither party is getting the job done. He will face the Red Wings tonight, he lost 2-1 to them on October 9th.

Krejci (undisclosed) will play this afternoon.

Krejci missed the first three games of the regular season but has been medically cleared and will be in the lineup today vs. the Avalanche. Krejci will make his season debut on a line with Milan Lucic and rookie Seth Griffith. Get the Bruins playmaking centre in your lineup.
