Tuukka Rask first goalie off ice after #Bruins a.m. skate. Khudobin still working

Rask allowed two goals on 13 shots in a relief effort of Anton Khudobin on Tuesday. The Bruins lost 5-2 to the Flyers and have now dropped five out of their last six games. He has a pretty good matchup against a Lightning team struggling to find W's.

Looks like Tuukka Rask in goal tonight.

Rask allowed two goals on 36 shots in a losing effort vs. the surging Islanders on Friday. He will be in the cage again tonight when the B’s take on Carolina. The Hurricanes couldn’t be struggling anymore than they are right now, so start Rask with confidence.

Patrice Bergeron, who suffered a concussion last Tuesday night, remains home in Boston and the Bruins have not offered a possible return date.

NHL protocol calls for concussed players to remain out of action for a minimum one week. One of Bergeron's long-time pals noted on Monday that the veteran pivot was encouraged by an examination he had on Friday with noted concussion expert Dr. Robert Cantu.

It's an optional skate for #Bruins. Rask not on ice, so he's the starter vs. #Canes.

Rask allowed two goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens. Rask will be in net at home tonight where he is 9-2-2 with a 2.01 GAA and .926 SV%. He has a good matchup vs. the Hurrianes who are 1-10-1 in their last 12.
