Rask will start Tuesday night's game against the Sabres, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan also notes that Jeremy Swayman could start Thursday night's game against Buffalo, while Jaroslav Halak works his way back from a COVID-related absence. Such a scenario would figure to lead to Rask tending the twine Friday against the Sabres. As for Tuesday, the matchup looks good for Rask, with the Bruins having won four straight games and Buffalo sitting last in the NHL with 31 points.

Rask stopped 30 of 33 shots Sunday in a 6-3 victory over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Rask was only beaten once at even strength, a T.J. Oshie rebound tally with 10 seconds left in the opening period. Otherwise, the only offense Washington could muster came with the man advantage when the Capitals briefly took a 3-2 lead early in the middle frame. Rask has strung together two straight wins since returning from injury Thursday, stopping 52 of 56 shots (.929 save percentage).

Rask will start Sunday afternoon's game against the Capitals, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shinzawa adds that Rask, who started Thursday night's 4-1 win over the Islanders, won't suit up for Friday's rematch in order to ensure that he isn't pressed into duty. As a result, Daniel Vladar will back up Jeremy Swayman.

Rask stopped 22 of 23 shots to earn his 300th NHL win Thursday in a 4-1 victory over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Rask was making his first appearance since March 25 after being sidelined with an upper-body injury. The 34-year-old was nearly perfect in his return, allowing just a Travis Zajac goal from the doorstep early in the second period. Rask has logged a .961 save percentage over his last five appearances, although that stretch was interrupted by his injury absence.

Coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed that Rask, who had been dealing with an upper-body injury, will start Thursday night's game against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
This was the expected outcome, but it hinged on Rask -- who last suited up March 25 -- avoiding any setbacks leading up to Thursday. Assuming he comes out of his first start back without any issues, expect the Bruins' top goalie to draw his next turn Sunday afternoon against the Capitals.
