Rask saved 28 of 29 shots during Monday's 2-1 overtime win against Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
After being pulled against Vancouver last time out, this was a solid rebound from Rask. He's proven capable of bouncing back from poor performances all season, but with a 24-10-4 record, .922 save percentage and 2.17 GAA for the campaign, his struggles have been few and far between. Additionally, with Boston sporting the second best Corsi For percentage (53.86) and allowing the fourth fewest high-danger scoring chances per 60 minutes (9.6) at five-on-five in the league, the veteran Finn projects to continue rewarding fantasy owners with high-end numbers.

Rask is slated to be between the pipes against the Flames on Monday, Aaron Vickers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has come back down to Earth, as he is 1-2-0 in his previous three outings, along with a 3.88 GAA. The netminder's phenomenal start to 2018 (15 wins in 18 outings) has the Bruins challenging the Lightning for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. The veteran's numbers are certainly helped by the fact that he is behind the league's second best penalty kill (84.2 percent) and is seeing fewer shots per game (29.2) than most opposing goalies.

Rask was pulled Saturday against Vancouver after allowing four goals on eight shots.
EDGE Analysis
It was a rare off-night for Rask, as the Canucks surprised everyone with a dominating 5-1 win over the Eastern Conference powerhouse. With the loss, Rask falls to 23-10-4 on the season with a .921 save percentage. The Bruins' starting netminder has lost two of his last three, but he remains an elite fantasy option. Look for Rask to bounce back in his next start.

Rask will tend the visiting twine Saturday against the Canucks, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has been a force to be reckoned with in the blue paint over the past few months, losing just one game in regulation since Nov. 29. He owns a 20-1-2 record over that span, posting a tremendous 1.68 GAA and a .939 save percentage over his 24 appearances. Rask should have a good opportunity to add to his win column Saturday against a Canucks club averaging just 2.50 tallies per game during February.

Rask saved 28 of 30 shots during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
The win improves Rask to a 23-9-4 record with a .924 save percentage and 2.11 GAA for the campaign, and at this stage of the game, there's no reason to get cute with the veteran Finn's opponents. He's locked in as a rare matchup-proof option and offers a high-floor, high-ceiling profile that few netminders in the league can match.

Rask will guard the goal from the visiting Flames on Tuesday, NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his first regulation loss in over two months, Rask had been absolutely stupendous, allowing two goals or fewer in seven straight contests on his way to wins in each one. The Finnish phenom has been outstanding on home ice this season, racking up a .930 save percentage and 1.94 GAA in games played at TD Garden. He'll look to keep up the excellence against a Calgary squad that has record three goals or more in seven of its last eight games.

Rask made 24 saves in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
This was Rask's first regulation loss since Nov. 26. The Bruins came up against a hungry squad and an excellent performance from Sabres' back-up, Chad Johnson. Rask had to lose at some point. He's not perfect (although pretty darn close).

Rask has been named Saturday's home starter against the Sabres, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask is the hottest goaltender in the league right now, as he's rattled off eight straight victories with immaculate supporting ratios (1.61 GAA and .942 save percentage) to boot. The Sabres looked impressive in Thursday's 4-3 home win over the islanders, but the team's minus-54 goal differential is egregious and more symbolic of how its season has gone.

Rask saved 26 of 28 shots during Tuesday's 3-2 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Not only has Rask now won eight consecutive games, he's also gone 22 starts without losing in regulation. The veteran Finn is obviously locked in as a must-start option in all seasonal leagues, as he's sporting an elite 22-8-4 record, .925 save percentage and 2.09 GAA for the campaign. Additionally, while it wouldn't be shocking if there was some statistical correction ahead, the Atlantic Division is proving to be the cakewalk of the NHL this year.

Rask is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Red Wings, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Boston set to play back-to-back road games beginning Tuesday, Anton Khudobin is in line to tend the twine Wednesday against the Rangers. Working behind the surging the Bruins, Rask hasn't lost in regulation since Nov 26, while logging a 18-0-2 record in the process. Overall, the fantasy-friendly netminder's GAA through 34 appearances is down to 2.09 and his save percentage up to .925.
