Boston Bruins News

In 36 regular season games in 2013, Rask compiled a 19-10-5 record with a GAA of 2.00 and a .929 save percentage with five shutouts. The B’s netminder finished the season tied for fourth in the NHL in wins (19), tied for first in shutouts (five), third in save percentage (.929) and tied for fourth in goals against (1.96). During the 2013 postseason, Rask led the NHL in save percentage (.940), tied for first in shutouts (three) and finished fourth in GAA (1.88) in 22 games. Rask set a club record for home playoff shutout streak at 193:16, spanning from game four of the Conference Final to game three of the Cup Final.

This would suggest that Bergeron is likely out for tonight's Game 6 in Boston. He played just 6:06 in Game 5 before leaving the game and heading to a nearby Chicago hospital. The injury has yet to be specified but consider him doubtful for tonight's game.

Rask's stellar play in the post-season continued in Game 2 when he allowed just one goal on 34 shots in the 2-1 OT win. The series shifts back to Boston tonight where the Bruins will lean on the home crowd to push them to a 2-1 series lead. Rask continues to lead all playoff goalies in SV% with a .944.

Rask has only lost 1 game over the last 2 series, limiting opponents to 12 goals in 9 starts.

Rask continued his stellar series allowing one goal on 54 shots in 95:19 in Game 3's 2-1 double-overtime win. He has now stopped 108 of 110 shots in the series for a .982 SV%. Expect him to bring his 'A' game yet again tonight as the Bruins look for the sweep.

Rask had yet another solid performance in Game 2. He stopped 26 of 27 shots the Penguins sent his way in a dominant 6-1 win. He has only allowed one goal on 57 shots in this series and with another solid game he will have the Bruins one game away from the Stanley Cup Finals.

Rask stopped all 29 shots in Game 1's 3-0 shutout win over Pittsburgh. The shutout was his first of these playoffs and brought his GAA down to 2.06 and SV% up to .933, both fifth best in the post-season. Obviously the Pens have a ton of talent but if Rask can shut the door in Game 2, the Bruins will be looking at a 2-0 lead heading home.

Rask has posted the playoffs sixth best GAA (2.22) and SV% (.928) bu he will need to be excellent in this series if the Bruins are going to have a chance to upset the powerful Penguins.

Rask stopped 23 of 24 shots in the Bruins 2-1 Game 3 win. Boston is now up 3-0 in the series and will look to finish off the sweep tonight in New York.

The Bruins had no trouble getting the puck past Lundqvist in Game 2 but at the same time Rask stole the game for the B's. He stopped 35 of 37 shots in the 5-2 win. Both goalies have seen a ton of rubber this series. Lundqvist has faced 80 shots while Rask has seen 72 thrown his way. Another good outing from Rask tonight and the Bruins are just one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Bruins first round series with the Maple Leafs was a fairly high-scoring one which resulted in Rask having a 2.49 GAA (10th in the playoffs) and a .923 SV% (7th). He will need to be on his 'A' game in the second round because he will be going head-to-head with Henrik Lundqvist.

Rask continued his strong play last night, but was once again bested by James Reimer. Rask allowed two goals on 26 shots in the 2-1 loss. The series shifts back to Boston for Game 7 where Rask will try and close out the series for the Bruins. Rask and Reimer have identical .932 SV% in the series, let the Game 7 fun begin!

Rask stopped 31 of 33 shots in the 2-1 loss in Game 5 that kept the Maple Leafs hopes alive. He will be in the cage again for Game 6 when the Bruins get a second crack to finish the series.

Rask was great yet again stopping 45 of 48 shots in the Game 4 OT win in Toronto. His .932 SV% has him ranked fifth in the playoffs. He and his Bruins teammates will look to close out the series tonight in Boston.

Rask played fantastic stopping 45 of 47 shots in a 5-2 win in Game 3. The Bruins have a chance to take a firm grip on this series in Toronto tonight. Rask has posted a 2.36 GAA and a .929 SV% in the first three games of the playoffs.

Rask was not as strong in Game 2 as he was in Game 1, allowing 4 goals on 32 shots. He has a 2.54 GAA and .904 SV% thus far. The series heads to Toronto for the next two where the Bruins will look to steal a couple of games on the road.

Rask was not very busy in Game 1, he only faced 20 shots in the 4-1 win. The Bruins dominated Game 1 and will look to do the same in Game 2. Rask is a great playoff fantasy option because the Bruins have the talent to go deep.

Rask was 11-1-2 in his first 14 starts but went 8-9-3 after that. Rask is probably happy about taking on the Maple Leafs in the first round. He was 2-0-0 with a 0.85 GAA and .958 SV% vs. Toronto this year.

Rask posted a 30 save shutout on Thursday vs. the Lightning. He will get the call tonight vs. the red-hot Capitals. He is a must-start in all formats but it is not the best matchup.
