Rask made 31 saves during Thursday's 3-1 Game 4 victory in Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The refs let them play in this one, as Boston didn't get a single power-play opportunity and Rask denied Toronto on its lone chance with the extra man. This was an excellent bounce-back performance from the Finnish veteran after he allowed seven goals over the previous two games, and he'll now have up to three chances to close out this conference quarterfinals series. The first such opportunity comes Saturday in Boston.

Rask is slated to square off against Frederik Andersen in Thursday night's Game 4 of the Bruins' playoff series against the Maple Leafs, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask, who backstopped a pair of home wins to start the series, will look to bounce back Thursday night after dropping a Game 3 road decision Monday in which he stopped 26 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. Working in Rask's favor is that reliable defender Matt Grzelcyk (lower body) is in line to return to action, plus it's reasonable to expect the stellar Bruins' top line to be a more of a factor that it was Monday, when the unit was unable to cash in on several golden opportunities.

Rask stopped 26 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing only four goals in the first two games of the series combined, Rask stumbled in Toronto and didn't get bailed out by his offense. Expect him to be right back in net for Game 4 on Thursday as he looks to set the Bruins up to win the series back in Boston.

Rask is slated to start Monday night's road playoff game against the Maple Leafs, NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask remains locked in as the Bruins' top netminder and it's going to take an injury for him to miss any starts during his team's playoff run. Through two home wins to open Boston's first-round playoff series against Toronto, Rask has stopped 56 of 60 shot attempts, while his teammates have racked up 12 goals in that span. With a change of venue on tap, the Leafs will be throwing everything they have at Rask Monday night, but for now the series momentum clearly favors the B's.

Rask made 30 saves for the Bruins in a 7-3 victory over the Maple Leafs in Game 2 on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

The game was about pure domination -- the Leafs were never closer than 4-1 and 5-2. Rask has been challenged by some shots, but the Leafs haven't played their game yet. So, he's coasting so far.

Rask will get the starting nod for Saturday's Game 2 clash with the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Rask was stellar in Game 1, as he recorded 26 of a possible 27 saves to earn the first of 16 required victories to lift Lord Stanley's Cup. Coming into the postseason, the netminder was riding a three-game losing streak, in which he posted a disappointing 3.72 GAA, but appears to have turned the corner. Still, facing Auston Matthews and company is no easy task, considering Toronto was fourth in the league in scoring during the regular season (3.29).

Rask made 26 saves in Thursday's 5-1 win over Toronto in the first game of the conference quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

This one was close early, as the game was tied 1-1 after one period and Toronto had a few quality opportunities to take the lead. However, Boston scored four times in the final 24:17 en route to a comfortable victory, largely tilting the ice away from Rask. Expect coach Mike Babcock's Maple Leafs to put up a better fight as the series goes on, but the second half of Game 1 was a cakewalk.

Rask will square off against Frederik Andersen at home in Game 1 of the Bruins' first-round playoff series against the Maple Leafs on Thursday,TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The NHL's playoff seeding system did the Bruins no favors, as they'll take on a Toronto team that took three of four decisions from Boston this past season. Moreover, the Leafs were tied for third in the league with 270 goals for and boast a nice collection of skilled young talent on offense. Rask bounced back from a slow start this season to record a 34-14-5 record, to go along with a 2.36 GAA. and .917 save percentage. Working in his favor heading into the postseason is that the Bruins' previously lengthy list of injuries has slowly been whittled down. Barring an injury of his own, it's safe to assume that Rask is entrenched as the Boston's starting goalie for the duration of the team's playoff run.

Rask allowed four goals on 26 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Surprisingly, the urgency simply wasn't there for the Bruins with a chance to clinch the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and Rask paid for it. But perhaps even more strange is the fact Rask will head into the playoffs on a three-game losing streak. The Bruins have been arguably the best team in the east since the trade deadline, but Rask has posted a .887 save percentage in his last three contests. Still, he ends the 2017-18 regular season with a 34-13-5 mark, .917 save percentage and a 2.36 GAA.

Rask will be the home starter for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday, but the Bruins can still the top seed in the Eastern Conference -- and home ice until the Stanley Cup Finals -- with a win Sunday. Therefore, it was an easy call to give Rask the nod, as he has a 4-2-0 record with a .934 save percentage in his last six outings. Regardless of Sunday's outcome, it's likely Rask takes every game when the playoffs fire up.
