Rask will patrol the crease in Thursday's Game 4 against the Hurricanes in Carolina, NHL.com's Dan Rosen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has been fantastic through the first three games of the Eastern Conference finals, pushing Carolina to the brink of elimination by picking up three consecutive victories while posting a superb 1.67 GAA and .944 save percentage. The Finnish netminder will look to keep rolling and help his team advance to the Stanley Cup Finals by picking up a seventh straight win and finishing the sweep of the Hurricanes on the road Thursday.

Rask was sensational yet again, stopping 35 of 36 shots in a 2-1 win over the Hurricanes on Tuesday in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.

EDGE Analysis

Make that six consecutive wins for Rask and the Bruins. Seemingly unbeatable over his last half dozen games, the Finnish netminder has to be considered a favorite to hoist the Conn Smythe trophy should Boston go on to win it all. Now with a commanding 3-0 series lead, Rask and the Bruins will be looking to close out the series Thursday and punch their ticket to the NHL's final dance.

Rask will be between the pipes for Tuesday's Game 3 road clash with Carolina, Joe McDonald of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask is riding a five-game winning streak in which he recorded a 1.60 GAA and .953 save percentage. While the netminder is backed by an offense that is scoring 3.40 goals per game in the postseason, he hasn't needed the help with how well he has been performing. Unless the Canes can figure out a way to dent Rask, the Eastern Conference finals could be over soon.

Rask made 23 saves in a 6-2 win over Carolina on Sunday. Boston now leads the best-of-seven series 2-0.

EDGE Analysis

Rask appeared to be cruising to his second shutout of these playoffs, but late goals from Justin Williams and Teuvo Teravianen spoiled that party. Despite the two goals allowed, the Finnish backstop continues to turn in solid performance after solid performance and has his team two wins away from a berth in the Stanley Cup finals.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has been red-hot since the start of the second round -- the Finn is 5-2-0 while boasting a 1.75 GAA and .947 save percentage. Rask is also currently riding a four-game winning streak -- allowing just six goals in those contests -- and will look for his sixth home victory of the postseason Sunday.

Rask stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over Carolina in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has won four straight and seven of the last nine, with Thursday's victory serving as a perfect start to the series for the Bruins. The Finnish netminder remains one of the hottest goalies in the playoffs and Rask's level of play has to have Boston brimming with confidence ahead of Game 2 on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was fantastic during the Bruins' second-round matchup with Columbus, guiding his team to an appearance in the Eastern Conference finals by maintaining an impressive 1.71 GAA and .948 save percentage through six games. The Finnish netminder will look to stay sharp and pick up his fifth home victory of this postseason in a matchup with a Carolina club that should be well rested after sweeping the Islanders in its second-round series.

Rask stopped 39 shots in a 3-0 shutout victory against the Blue Jackets in Game 6. With this win, the Bruins are headed to the Eastern Conference finals.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran netminder saved his best for last, as he recorded his first shutout of the postseason to eliminate the Blue Jackets. Rask was outstanding in this series, posting a .948 save percentage. He is 8-5 with a 2.02 GAA and .938 save percentage this postseason.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has seen a barrage of rubber in the last four games, as he faced 151 shots and stopped 142 (.940 save percentage). If the Finnish netminder continues to see this level of workload, eventually the Blue Jackets are going to start putting pucks into the back of the net. Still, Rask is sporting a solid 2.43 GAA and .931 save percentage on the road and will look to prevent a Game 7 on Wednesday.

Rask made 33 saves in a 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins led until the 10:33 mark of the third when the goal gates flooded open. Rask allowed three in a 3:25 span and his team tucked in one more, leaving things knotted at threes. He wasn't sharp in that span, but pulled his game back together and his teammates did the rest. Rask then held off the Jackets in a wild flurry of pucks in the last minute of play. One more win and the Bruins move on.
