Rask made 25 saves and picked up his second shutout of the season in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has been lights-out in December, going 9-0-1 with two shutouts and just 13 goals allowed in 10 starts. That's good enough to make him the top fantasy goaltender in that period. Boston's resurgence after a sluggish start sits firmly at the feet of this Finnish flash.

Rask will patrol the crease in Saturday's road game against the Senators, Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has been unbeatable recently, picking up four consecutive victories while registering a superb 1.22 GAA and .956 save percentage over that span. The Finnish netminder will look to keep rolling and pick up his 13th win of the campaign Saturday in a favorable road matchup with a Senators team that's 7-6-5 at home this season.

Rask turned away 25 of 26 shots in Wednesday's shootout victory over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
That's four straight victories for Rask, who has allowed just a single goal in each of his last three starts. The veteran netminder is at the top of his game at the moment and advances to 12-8-3 on the season. Rask had some struggles earlier in the year, but he's locked in now and has managed to boost his save percentage to .920 in the process. Get him in your lineup, as his early season struggles are now a distant memory.

Rask will start between the pipes in Wednesday's home game against the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has been red hot in the month of December, compiling a 7-0-1 record while maintaining a highly impressive 1.39 GAA and .950 save percentage in nine appearances. The Finnish backstop will look to stay dialed in and pick up his 12th victory of the campaign Wednesday in an attractive home matchup with a struggling Senators squad that's only averaging 2.41 goals per game on the road this season, 28th in the NHL.

Rask made 30 saves in a 3-1 win over the Red Wings on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Rask is an impressive 8-0-1 in his past nine starts to bring his season total to 11-8-3. How far has his game come? His 2.28 GAA is now fifth in the NHL and behind only starters Corey Crawford, Andrei Vaskilevskiy and Jonathan Quick. The elite Rask is back in a big way.

Rask will man the home crease Saturday against the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has been phenomenal for the Bruins during December, owning a 1.44 GAA and a .947 save percentage over eight appearances during the month. He will attempt to add to his impressive work Saturday against a Red Wings club tied for 24th in the league (2.74 goals per game) in scoring this season.

Rask saved 37 of 38 shots during Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
The Finn entered with a 6-0-1 record, .937 save percentage and 1.59 GAA through his past eight appearances, so this was another solid showing. Rask has put an underwhelming start behind him, and the Bruins are now 7-2-1 through their past 10 contests. Everything is trending in the right direction for the veteran, and Rask has proven to be a high-end asset in the past.

Rask will tend the twine for Thursday's matchup with the Jets, Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask will be tasked with shutting down Winnipeg's high powered offense that is scoring 3.34 goals per game -- fourth highest in the league. The netminder has been rolling recently, as he has registered a 6-0-1 record with a 1.59 GAA and should be up to the challenge.

Rask made 16 saves on 18 shots Monday in a 7-2 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Though Rask picked up his fifth win in six games, it was a rather pedestrian night for him. His offense and defense had a lot more to do with the win than he did, as the Bruins outshot the Jackets 45-18 and made life miserable for Sergei Bobrovsky. Rask will gladly take the result, but fantasy owners won't be so happy with two consecutive sub-par starts from the Finn.

Rask is slated to start Monday night's game against the Blue Jackets, Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bruins have a busy week in advance of the upcoming holiday break, so look for Anton Khudobin to give Rask a break Tuesday against the Sabres. Though Rask and the Bruins fell to the Rangers in a 3-2 overtime loss Saturday, the team's top goalie is back on track overall, having won his five previous start prior to that loss. It's no coincidence that in that span the team has gradually gotten healthier, with rugged/shut-down blueliner Adam McQuaid (leg) nearing a return as well. Rask faces a Columbus squad Monday that has dropped two of three games, including a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Carolina on Saturday.
