Rask has held the opposition to one goal in each of his four starts. He sits a 3-1-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .965 SV%; he has proven that he is definitely among the fantasy elite. He will face the Wings for the second time in 10 days. He stopped 25 of 26 in a 4-1 win on October 5th.
That likely means that Tuomo Ruutu will make his season debut, but the Hurricanes have said they will make a decision on him tomorrow.
Rask allowed just one goal on 29 shots on Thursday, but the Bruins couldn't beat J.S Giguere; resulting in a 1-0 loss. It was Rask's first loss of the season, but no fault of his own. He has allowed just three goals through his first three starts and has a .966 SV%. He will make his first road start of the season this afternoon in Columbus.
It's getting close to decision time on whether or not to burn Lindholm’s first year of his entry level deal. Lindholm’s recurring "upper-body" problems could make that decision a little easier on Carolina. Consider his day-to-day.
Rask has been just as advertised. He has stopped 57 of 59 (.966 SV%) shots that he has faced in his first two starts. He has allowed one goal in each of his starts; both wins. He will face the 3-0-0 Avalanche in a battle of unbeaten squads.

Zadorov injured his hand on Friday, September 27th.
Lindholm status for tonight was up in the air after suffering an arm laceration on Sunday. He will be back in his regular spot as the Hurricanes fourth line centre.
Lindholm played just 7:34 with a minus-1 rating yesterday. He went to the locker room briefly because of an arm laceration, but did return. He continued to practice on the first power-play unit this morning so he should be considered probable for tomorrow's game.
Rask had a good start to the season making 32 saves on 33 shots in a win over the Lightning. He will face a tougher challenge tonight against the 2-0 Red Wings who's goalie Jimmy Howard has had a great start to the year.
Krejci is a solid number-2 centre with a lot of upside heading into 2013-14. Get him in your lineups!
In his first season as the Bruins number-1, Rask emerged as one of fantasy's best goalies. He went 19-10-5 with a 2.00 GAA, .929 SV% and tied for the league lead in shutouts with five. Behind a great Bruins team, Rask will be a workhorse once again and should find himself near the top of the league in wins.
Krejci should be good to go tonight after dealing with back spasms for almost a week. He will centre a line with Jarome Iginla and Milan Lucic.
As long as Krejci's back holds up, Krejci will be active for the Bruins tomorrow.
He missed the tail-end of the preseason with the shoulder ailment. The fifth overall pick cracked the roster regardless of the injury and appears set to make his NHL debut on Friday.
Zadorov was the 16th overall pick in this year's draft. He is a huge defenseman at 6-foot-5, 228 lbs. who loves to play extremely physically. He possesses a big shot but is not expected to contribute a ton offensively as he is more of a stay at home defenseman.
Lindholm was selected with the fifth overall pick in this year's draft. Lindholm has some of the best hands available in this year's draft. Keep an eye on Lindholm early in the season, he would be a great pickup (especially in a keeper league) if he sticks with Carolina.
The Sabres selected the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Russian defenseman with the 16th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft. Zadorov, 18, has played in three exhibition games so far this season and recorded his first career goal in the game against Toronto on Sunday. “I think it’s great. It’s a big experience for me to play here in NHL exhibition games,” Zadorov told Sabres.com. “I’ve played three games and I think I did a pretty good job. I just want to try and make the team.”
This is a good sign that Bergeron will be ready for the Bruins season opener on October 3rd. It will take him some time to get back into game shape but expect him to be close to; if not 100% come October.
Lindholm's game is said to be more of a two-way style so while GM Jim Rutherford expects Lindholm to be with the Canes when training camp starts, he isn't expected to have much fantasy impact.
