Tuukka Rask

Tuukka Rask starting in goal in Bruins' season opener

Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask is starting goal on Thursday versus the Nashville Predators.

What It Means:

The 30-year-old netminder is coming off a bounce-back season where he posted his best goals-against average (2.23) since he won the Vezina trophy in 2014. He won a career-high 37 games and is expected to serve as the Bruins' primary goalie this season.

Our models project Rask as a below average goalie option on Thursday with 2.3 goals allowed, 26.8 saves, and a 56.0% chance of winning for 17.7 FanDuel points.
