Boston Bruins News

Nikita Zadorov has been assigned to the London Knights (OHL).

Zadorov was the 16th overall pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft. He only played in seven games with the Sabres so the first year of his entry level contract will not be in effect this season. He heads back to London where he had six goals and 25 points in 63 games last season.

As expected, Rask starts for the Bruins.

Rask turned aside 33 of 34 shots to carry to the Bruins to a win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. After a solid October, Rask has been spectacular in November - he carries a 2-0-1 record with a 1.30 GAA and .957 SV% into this Veteran's Day matinee with the Lightning. Steven Stamkos has six game goal streak (7G in 6 games), so this is not a great matchup - but Rask is a must-start regardless of who the opposition is.

Rask starts vs. Reimer and the Maple Leafs.

Rask stopped 23 shots in an easy 4-1 win over the Panthers on Thursday. The Maple Leafs have been outshot in 13 straight games, so Rask figures to be in for another quiet night - but when Phil Kessel is on the ice he will need to be on top of his game.

Rask stopped 34 of 36 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars on Tuesday. Kari Lehtonen was equal to the task stopping 34 shots as well in the other net. Rask gets the nod against an inferior Panthers team tonight. He allowed two goals on 29 shots in a win over Florida on October 17.

Lindholm was sent to Charlotte (AHL) on Wednesday.

Lindholm had one goal and one assist with a minus-4 rating while averaging 11:39 TOI in 10 games with the Hurricanes. He was the fifth overall pick in this year's draft. He is going to the AHL where he will see a lot more ice-time and gain some valuable experience.

Rask will start vs. the Devils

Rask extended his winning streak to three with a 38 save performance in a 2-1 win over the Sharks on Thursday. The Bruins were outshot 39-17 but Rask stood on his head to earn his sixth win of the year. He will make for another good start tonight against a 1-5-4 Devils team.

Nikita Zadorov, who made his NHL debut on Saturday, will remain in the lineup tonight vs. Boston.

Zadorov was the 16th pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft, is a big, physical defenseman who loves to throw his weight around. The Sabres have nine-games to decide whether or not they want to keep Zadorov on the roster and burn the first year of his entry-level contract, or send him back to juniors. He had no points in 11:01 TOI in his NHL debut.

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled Tyler Pitlick from Oklahoma City (AHL).

Pitlick was the 31st overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He has 11 goals and 25 assists (36 points) in 113 games with OKC - including one goal and two assists in seven games this season. Both Ryan Smyth and Jordan Eberle are questionable for tomorrow's game, if one of them can't go, Pitlick would slide into the lineup.

Rask starts for the B's.

Rask turned aside 27 of 29 shots in a win over Tim Thomas and the Panthers on Thursday. He is off to a great start winning four of six with a 1.51 GAA and .947 SV%. He faces a good Lightning offence tonight, so take a look at your #2 goalie's matchup before immediately deploying Rask.

Hurricanes head coach Kirk Muller says Lindholm is unlikely to play against the Maple Leafs but could return vs. the Islanders on Saturday.

Lindholm has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury. The fifth overall pick in this years draft has one goal and a minus-1 rating while averaging 8:51 TOI.
