Rask made 30 saves and backstopped the Bruins to a 3-2 win against the Leafs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has allowed two goals or less during his five-game winning streak, reminding everyone that he's not going to let Jaroslav Halak to the No. 1 job without a fight. Rask improves his record to 13-8-2 and his save percentage is the highest it's ever been in four seasons. With the Bruins now (mostly) healthy, Rask is a top-end fantasy goalie in standard leagues.

Rask will command the crease against the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins have already conquered the Maple Leafs twice this season, but it was actually backup netminder Jaroslav Halak solving the Buds each time. Still, Rask pitched his first shutout of the season Tuesday against the Wild, and that means the Finn should be brimming with confidence as he prepares to face a team boasting the league's second-best offense by means of averaging 3.63 goals per game.

Rask will start Tuesday night's home game against the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has picked up his play of late, having won his last three starts, en route to allowing five goals in that span. He'll be facing a Minnesota squad that has won back-to-back 4-3 decisions, while the Bruins will be looking for their fifth straight triumph. Boosting Rask's cause at this stage of the season is that as a team, Boston is starting to get healthy, with blueliner Charlie McAvoy (lower body) not far from a return to action as well.

Rask will guard the home goal Friday against the Sabres, Joe McDonald of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask receives his third starting nod in four contests after posting a pair of stellar efforts to pick up victories against the Sabres and Blackhawks. His night off Thursday was likely the result of a back-to-back set, though Jaroslav Halak has played well enough to earn some nods as well. Rask will look for his second victory over Buffalo within a week Friday, and he should have a good shot at it. The Bruins sports a 14-5-0 record on home ice this season.

Rask stopped 36 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks in the Winter Classic.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old got 2019 started off on the right foot, picking up his second straight win and 10th of the season. He remains in a timeshare with Jaroslav Halak, but Rask has been posting strong numbers since his rough start with a 2.34 GAA and .922 save percentage over his prior 15 games coming into Tuesday.

Rask will face the Blackhawks outdoors on Tuesday in the NHL's Winter Classic, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask is coming off a win in his last start but holds a mediocre 3-4-0 record in seven December appearances. The Bruins' netminder has had an up-and-down season, but Rask has a chance to end the calendar year on a positive note with a win on what's sure to be a spectacular stage. The unpredictability associated with outdoor games essentially makes them toss-ups, so the fact that Boston has been the far better team to this point in the season means less than it typically would if the game was being played under more traditional circumstances.

Rask will start in goal Saturday against the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Rask let up five goals to the Hurricanes in his last start and has seen his volume of starts dwindle with Jaroslav Halak faring better in the crease. He will return to the cage Saturday, looking to stop a Sabres club that has averaged just 1.75 goals per game over the last four.

Rask stopped 32-of-37 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was given a 2-0 lead just nine minutes into the contest but would go on to allow four unanswered scores to the Hurricanes. In his first start since last Sunday, the Finnish netminder dropped to 8-8-2 and saw his GAA jump to an uncharacteristic 2.72, the worst of his career. He could be a good fantasy trade candidate as some owners may be growing impatient with his lackluster play. Rask will likely look to turn things around on Thursday against the Devils.

Rask will guard the cage in Sunday's road game against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was a little shaky in his last start Sunday against the Sabres, surrendering three goals on 26 shots en route to a 4-2 defeat. The Finnish netminder will look to bounce back and pick up his ninth victory of the season in a favorable road matchup with a Carolina club that's only averaging 2.78 goals per game at home this campaign, 27th in the NHL.

Rask allowed three goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

The Sabres beat him just once in the first two periods, but Rask let the game get away from him a bit during the final frame. He's allowed three goals in four of his last five outings, posting a 2-3-0 record during that span. Rask's 2.57 GAA is his highest since the 2010-11 campaign, but his .915 save percentage is pretty similar to the numbers he's registered over the last several seasons.
