Rask led the Bruins on the ice for warmups and will be in the crease Thursday against the Panthers. The Bruins wasted a huge opportunity to put themselves on solid ground for a playoff spot by losing to the Capitals on Wednesday, so the team will need to lean on Rask for the second game in as many nights. While some concerns about fatigue might be warranted, Rask had been outstanding prior to Wednesday's loss, winning his previous four games while allowing two or fewer goals in each of those appearances. He should still make for a fine play against the low-scoring Panthers.
