Rask will be between the pipes on the road versus the Oilers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
In his previous outing versus Detroit on Saturday, Rask gave up just one goal on 26 shots in a winning effort. The netminder has been rolling of late, as he is 4-1-0 with a 1.21 GAA and .954 save percentage in his last five appearances. Even with the strong run of form, the Finn figures to continue splitting time with Jaroslav Halak in order to keep him fresh for another deep postseason run.

Rask will tend the twine for Saturday's home clash with Detroit, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask is riding high in his previous five contests, as he is 4-1-0 with a 1.21 GAA and .958 save percentage. The Finnish netminder will take the first game of the Bruins' back-to-back while Jaroslav Halak gets the nod versus the Rangers on Sunday. The two goalies figure to continue sharing the workload down the stretch, though Rask should get the bulk of the work to start the postseason.

Rask allowed a goal on 29 shots in a 4-1 win over Montreal on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Following Rask's fourth win in five starts, his season record stands at 21-5-6. The Finnish-born netminder picked up his second straight win over the Canadiens and was making his third start in goal since Jaroslav Halak went down with an upper-body injury (he's fine now). Boston plays back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, so it's likely Rask and Halak will each get a start on the weekend.

Rask will get the starting nod against the Canadiens at home Wednesday, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask took both games of Boston's most recent back-to-back due to an injury to backup Jaroslav Halak and will make his third straight appearance in the pipes. The Finnish netminder went 1-1-0 with a 2.04 GAA and .920 save percentage in those outings. In his previous clash with the Habs, Rask stopped 28 of 29 shots in a winning effort and will be looking for a repeat performance Wednesday.

Rask made 17 saves in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit's final goal was scored into an empty net. Rask wasn't even supposed to be in the crease for this one after playing Saturday on the front end of a home-and-home against the Wings, but Jaroslav Halak (upper body) was a late scratch, forcing the 32-year-old to handle starts on back-to-back days for the first time all season. Rask played reasonably well given the circumstances, but he didn't get much support in a sluggish afternoon affair. It's his first regulation loss since Dec. 12, and he still boasts a sharp 2.14 GAA and .929 save percentage on the year.

Contrary to a previous report, Rask will start between the pipes for Sunday's game against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Jaroslav Halak was expected to start in the cage for Sunday's game and it's unclear why a change was made. Rask will draw a great matchup against the league's worst offense in terms of goals per contest this campaign (2.02).

Rask turned aside 29 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder has won five straight starts and hasn't taken a regulation loss since Dec. 12. Rask's hot streak has boosted his record to 20-4-6, and he carries a stellar 2.15 GAA and .930 save percentage on the season.

Rask will be between the pipes for Saturday's home clash with the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has been splitting the starting duties with Jaroslav Halak of late but he's 4-0-0 in his last five appearances with a 1.24 GAA. If the 32-year-old Rask continues to perform at that level, he could begin to get a larger share of the starts down the stretch, though the club will no doubt want to keep him fresh for a postseason run.

Rask stopped all 25 shots he faced in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder picked up his third shutout of the season but first since Oct. 26. Rask appears to have turned things around after a shaky six weeks in November and early December -- he hasn't lost in regulation in nine straight starts, going 6-0-3 with a 1.96 GAA and .937 save percentage over that stretch.

Rask will start Tuesday night's home game against the Canucks, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bruins will look to extend their winning streak to four games against a Vancouver squad that had a five-game roll snapped by a 4-3 shootout loss to Carolina on Sunday. In his return from a concussion in this past Friday's triumph over the Jets, Rask was sharp, stopping 37 of 38 shots in his team's 2-1 win, while upping his overall record to 18-4-6, with a 2.23 GAA and .927 save percentage.
