Rask made 35 saves in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Islanders. He also picked up an assist on the game-winning goal.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has allowed just two goals in each of his last four starts, a span in which he's gone 3-1. The time share with Jaroslav Halak works for Rask -- the two men alternate starts and that helps keep the Finn fresh for the playoffs. He is now 17-4-6.

Rask will man the road crease Saturday against the Islanders, Matt Porter of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has gone six starts without a regulation defeat, boasting a 3-0-3 record in that stretch while holding four of those six opponents to two goals apiece. He'll likely be embroiled in a goaltending duel against Semyon Varlamov, as the Islanders score only 2.79 goals per game but give up just 2.55.

Rask stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 6-2 win over Nashville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was perfect at even strength, with both Nashville goals coming via the power play. It was his third win in his last four starts and, rather surprisingly, his first road victory since Nov 27 at Ottawa. The 32-year-old is enjoying another stellar season, sporting a .924 save percentage that would be his highest since 2013-14.

Rask will defend the blue paint during Tuesday's road game versus the Predators, Joe McDonald of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was sharp in his last start Thursday against the Blue Jackets, turning aside 31 of 33 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 10th loss of the season due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The 32-year-old Finn will look to get back in the win column in a road matchup with an underperforming Nashville team that just fired head coach Peter Laviolette on Monday.

Rask made 31 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to Columbus on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

Rask came into the match on a two-game winning streak with a .926 save percentage and performed well. But he was out-goaltended by rookie Elivs Merzlikins, who won just his second game of the season. It was Rask's first regulation loss since Dec. 12.

Rask will guard the goal during Thursday's home clash with Columbus, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has played well recently, picking up back-to-back wins over the Capitals and Sabres while posting an admirable 2.51 GAA and .926 save percentage. The 32-year-old Finn will look to keep rolling in a home game versus a Blue Jackets team that's 6-6-6 on the road this year.

Rask made 24 saves in a 3-2 win over Buffalo on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rask made some key saves late, and got a little help from his crossbar, to secure his second straight win following a five-game losing skid. Rask's save percentage has taken a significant dip each month this season, falling from his superb .951 mark in October to .917 in November to .906 in December, but is likely just the normal ebb and flow of a long season. In 24 appearances overall, Rask is 15-4-5 with a 2.31 GAA and .923 save percentage.

Rask will defend the blue paint during Sunday's home game against the Sabres, Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Halak was a little shaky in his last start, allowing four goals on 29 shots en route to a 4-3 loss to the Predators on Saturday. The 34-year-old backstop will try to bounce back in a home matchup with a Buffalo squad that's 6-11-4 on the road this year.

Rask will tend the home twine Monday against the Capitals, Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask is having a tough stretch, as he's lost his last five starts and posted an .882 save percentage. However, coach Bruce Cassidy said Rask would get the three of the four starts preceding the holiday break, and he's lived up to his word. The Capitals, on the other hand, have won 10 of 12, and they continue to lead the league with 3.54 goals per game.

Rask gave up two goals on 21 shots in a shootout loss to the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was clearly let down by his offense, as he posted a solid .905 save percentage and 1.85 GAA. It was the fifth straight loss for the netminder, but it marked the third time he's earned at least a point over that stretch. Heading into the Christmas break, Rask will likely split the next two games with Jaroslav Halak.
