Rask recently underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip, Joe McDonald of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result, Rask is expected to be out until January or February. Though he's an unrestricted free agent, the 34-year-old has stated that he has no interest in playing for any organization other than Boston. Whether he re-signs with the Bruins down the road presumably hinges on how well and how soon he's able to recover from his procedure, as well as the team's context at that time. For now Jeremy Swayman and Daniel Vladar top the B's goaltending depth chart.

GM Don Sweeney indicated that Rask is on track to undergo hip surgery at the end of July, Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The procedure is expected to keep Rask out until early 2022. The 34-year-old is headed for unrestricted free agency, but has already indicated that he has no interest in playing for any team other than the Bruins. Given that he won't be ready to play when the 2021-22 season starts -- regardless of whether Rask re-signs down the road -- the Bruins seem likely to add goaltending depth to complement the team's returning duo of Jeremy Swayman and Daniel Vladar.

Rask -- who played with a torn hip labrum -- will need surgery in the offseason and is expected to be sidelined until at least January, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his exit interview, Rask also told reporters he has no intention of playing anywhere other than Boston, but his expected absence for the first three months of the 2021-22 season will no doubt complicate things for the club. Not only does the 34-year-old veteran need a new contract but long-time backup Jaroslav Halak could be looking for greener pastures as well and may not want to play second fiddle to Jeremy Swayman, only to be relegated to third on the depth chart once Rask is cleared to play.

Rask (undisclosed) stopped 23 of 27 shots Wednesday in a 6-2 loss to the Islanders in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Rask, who received the start despite an unknown injury, gave up a pair of goals to Brock Nelson and single tallies by Travis Zajac and Kyle Palmieri. He allowed eight goals over the final two games of the series and finished the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a .919 save percentage in 11 starts.

Rask (undisclosed) will patrol the crease on the road during Wednesday's must-win Game 6 versus the Islanders, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was considered questionable due to an undisclosed issue, but he'll gut it and play through what is presumably a nagging injury for a must-win Game 6. The Finnish backstop struggled in Monday's Game 5, surrendering four goals on just 16 shots through the first two periods before being replaced by Jeremy Swayman for the final frame, so he'll be looking for a bounce-back performance Wednesday.

When asked about Rask's (undisclosed) availability for Wednesday's Game 6 versus the Islanders, coach Bruce Cassidy said, "We'll find out tomorow," Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was yanked from Monday's Game 5 loss to the Isles after allowing four goals on 16 shots through the first two periods of the contest, but following the match, Cassidy revealed the veteran netminder was "not 100 percent." The specific nature of Rask's injury remains a mystery, but if he's unavailable for Game 6, rookie Jeremy Swayman will likely get the starting nod for the must-win contest.

Rask (undisclosed) was pulled after allowing four goals on 16 shots through two periods in Monday's Game 5 loss against the Islanders, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jeremy Swayman entered the game in relief of Rask to begin the third, but after the game, head coach Bruce Cassidy mentioned that Rask was "not 100 percent". It's unclear what he's dealing with but it appears to be a minor injury as the 34-year-old still managed to start the contest. His status for Game 6 in New York on Wednesday is up in the air at the moment.

Rask will start Monday's Game 5 against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Rask set aside 58 of 61 shots between Games 3 and 4 for a .951 save percentage, but that strong play merely earned a split over the two games in New York, so the series heads back to Boston tied at two games apiece. The Finnish netminder will look to stay locked in for this pivotal matchup.

Rask allowed two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders in Game 4. The last two goals were empty-netters.

EDGE Analysis

Rask wasn't bad in goal Saturday, but Kyle Palmieri scored in the second period and Mathew Barzal batted a puck out of midair for the game-winner in the third. The 34-year-old Rask has allowed two or fewer goals in six of his last seven starts, with five wins in that span. He'll look to get back on track in Monday's pivotal Game 5 back in Boston.

Rask will guard the road goal during Saturday's Game 4 versus the Islanders, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was excellent in Thursday's Game 3, turning aside 28 of 29 shots en route to a 2-1 victory. The Finnish netminder will try to help the Bruins secure a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Isles by picking up his seventh victory of this postseason Saturday.
