Tuukka Rask

Bruins expected to start Tuukka Rask for Friday night tilt

Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate ahead of Friday's matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks.

What It Means:

Rask was tagged for five scores in a shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday, tying his season-high for goals allowed this season. He's tied for fifth-most wins (22) this season and also owns the fifth-best goals-against average (2.11) while his save percentage (.919) is tied for 17th.

Among the 12 goalies starting on Friday night, our models rank Rask sixth while projecting him to allow 2.1 goals and record 26.1 saves with a 51.0 percent chance of winning.
