What It Means:

After winning 10-of-11 starts at the beginning of the season, Rask has cooled off to the tune of a 4-3-2 record, with a .918 save percentage and 2.11 goals allowed per game in his last nine starts. He still ranks fifth in the NHL with 1.85 goals allowed on the season.

Our models project Rask as the third-best goalie option -- out of four -- in Monday's small slate with a 37.0 chance of winning while stopping 26.6-of-29.2 shot attempts versus Montreal.
