Tuukka Rask expected to start as Bruins host Red Wings
Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask is the likely starter for Boston's home matchup with the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
What It Means:
Rask made 27 saves on 28 shots in the Bruins' shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday. He is expected to get the start for the Bruins in a must-win game against Detroit. He has started the last seven games, going 2-4-1 with a 3.14 goals against average and .890 save percentage in that span.
Our models project Rask to allow 2.37 goals on 27.20 shots with a 60 percent chance of recording the win. He's our ninth-ranked goalie for Thursday's 13-game slate.
