Boston Bruins News

Rask will obviously start game 1 vs. Detroit.

Rask was first in shutouts (7), second in SV% (.930), fourth in GAA (2.04) and fifth in wins (36). #VezinaMuch ? The Bruins have the edge in goal, and will lean on Rask to shut down the Red Wings speedy attack. He was 1-3-0 with a 3.29 GAA and .871 SV% against the Red Wings this season.

Krejci will play Thursday after being a healthy scratch on Tuesday.

Krejci was given a rest day on Tuesday, but will be back in tonight vs. the Jets. Krejci has 17 goals and 49 assists (66 points) in 78 games this season. He has three games left to try and post his second career 50 assist season, and first since 2008-09.

Rask was the first goalie off at the Bruins morning skate.

Rask allowed three goals on 24 shots in a shootout loss to Minnesota on Tuesday. Rask has won three of his last five while posting a 2.13 GAA and .927 SV%. Those numbers are right around where he is at on the season (2.06 / .929) and that should continue into the playoffs. After tonight, you might see Rask one more time as the Bruins gear up for a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday.

Rask allowed two goals on 26 shots in a win over the Flyers on Saturday. Rask is having a ridiculous season. He is fifth in the NHL in Wins (35) and GAA (2.04), third in SV% (.930) and first in Shutouts (7)… It does not get any better than that. It looks like it will be #TuukkaTime tonight and could be #VezinaTime come June.

Rask shut the door on 31 of 33 shots in a 4-2 win over the Coyotes on Saturday. The win extended his personal winning-streak to seven games and the Bruins to 12… Yeah, they've won 12 straight.
