Boston Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask will make his first start of the season Thursday versus the struggling Philadelphia Flyers. Rask could only play in 24 contests last campaign due to hip and back injuries. With having surgery in the offseason to repair a torn labrum in his hip, the 34-year-old went into the year without an NHL contract. Luckily for the veteran goalie, the Bruins have been hot lately, winning three in a row while compiling a 7-3 record in their last ten contests. Look for Rask to play a colossal role in Boston's potential success in the rest of the regular season.
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask is the team's likely starter for Monday's meeting with the Islanders, which will be the B's final regular-season home game. Amazingly, this will be only the 11th outing at the TD Garden this season for Rask. He boasts a 6-3-1 record on home ice. The veteran has gone 14-5-2 for the whole campaign with a 2.29 goals-against average, a .914 save percentage and two shutouts. The Islanders are limping over the finish line with just three wins in nine games, so Rask looks to be in a solid spot to get his 15th win of the year.
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask picked up his second shutout of the campaign on Monday, blanking the New Jersey Devils 3-0. The 34-year-old wasn't particularly busy in this one but was perfect when called upon - stopping all 20 shots faced in the contest. Rask continues to quietly do his thing in Boston in 2020-2021 and despite missing some time, he carries a 14-4-2 record to go along with a 2.16 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage. He's certainly still a number-one goaltender in nearly all fantasy formats and will look to keep rolling in his next likely start versus the New York Rangers on Thursday.
Tuukka Rask Looks For Fourth Straight Victory Friday Night
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will go after his fourth straight victory in Friday's meeting with Buffalo. It will be his second game of the week against the Sabres after the veteran netminder posted his first shutout of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 victory. Rask carries an 11-4-2 record with a 2.22 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. Boston has racked up six consecutive wins and shouldn't really lose here against the worst team in the league. Buffalo has avoided defeat in only 12 outings this season.

He was forced into 17 saves in the final period as the B's tried to hang on to their fifth straight victory. Rask has played a part in three of the wins, taking his record for the season to 11-4-2. He has registered a 2.22 goals-against average with a .916 save percentage. It's been a tough year for Rask due to injuries, but he's been very sharp when healthy, and the veteran remains a top goalie option in fantasy hockey.
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask (upper body) will make his return to the ice on Thursday against the Islanders, earning his 16th start of the season. He's been nursing an upper-body injury since March 25. Rask's poor health means that he's logged only three appearances since the start of last month, failing to win any games. His record for the season stands at 8-4-2 with a 2.40 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. The Isles offer a stern test for Rask, with the Bruins losing five straight meetings in the matchup.
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask (undisclosed) will be back in the net for Thursday's matchup against the Islanders. The Finnish veteran has been out since taking a 1-0 loss against New Jersey on Mar. 7. Rask's recent outings haven't gone well, with him suffering three losses in four games. He has an 8-4-2 record for the year with a 2.46 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. The Bruins, who play their first game in a week due to COVID-19, have lost all four matchups against the Islanders this season and Rask hadn't been in good form, so he will be a risky choice in goal on Thursday.
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will draw the start on Sunday as his team faces off against the visiting New Jersey Devils. Rask is fresh off three days of rest, having last played in Wednesday's shootout loss to the Capitals in which he stopped 27 of 28 shots fired his way. The 33-year-old should be considered a top fantasy goaltending option on a fairly busy Sunday slate of games. Looking for his ninth win of the campaign, Rask has posted a 2.56 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage in 13 starts in 2020-2021.

The 33-year-old is fresh off a 4-1 victory over the Rangers on Sunday in which he turned aside 20 of 21 shots against to earn his eight win of the season. Rask might not carry the best numbers of his career through 12 starts (2.71 goals-against average, .896 save percentage) but, given his history of strong goaltending in Boston, should be trusted as a number-one fantasy goalie each night he suits up.
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will be in between the pipes as his team travels to take on the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. The 33-year-old will enter Friday's matchup on four full days of rest - having last started in a 7-3 victory over the Flyers at Lake Tahoe last Sunday. Rask may not have the best numbers through 10 starts in 2020-2021 (2.56 goals-against average, .901 save percentage) but he's managed to earn seven wins along the way. He's coming off one of the best years of his 14-year career (2.12 GAA, .929 SVP) and should be inserted into starting fantasy lineups each night he starts.
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will start Sunday's outdoor game at Lake Tahoe against Philadelphia. The Flyers head into the clash without a number of key guys, so Rask is in a great spot to continue his domination against Philly. He has an 18-2-4 career record against the Flyers with a 2.02 goals-against average, a .93o save percentage, and three shutouts. Three of the wins have come in 2020-21 and are part of Rask's nice 6-2-1 record. He has posted a 2.51 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage.

His save percentage stands at below .900 but Rask's goals-against average is still solid at 2.36. The Bruins have won only nine of their last 28 visits to the Madison Square Garden, but the Rangers have a poor 4-5-2 record for the season, so Rask is in a good spot to grab his sixth victory of the season.
Tuukka Rask Takes On One Of His Favorite Opponents
Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will guard the crease on Friday versus Philadelphia, against whom he has an outstanding 17-2-4 career record.

The Bruins have dropped only one of their last seven games, so Rask is playing on a hot team and he's in a solid spot to pick up his fifth win of the season.

The 33-year-old last faced the Flyers on January 21st - a 5-4 overtime win in which he stopped 22 shots on 26 shots against. Rask has allowed four goals in two of his previous three appearances but should still be an unanimous piece in starting fantasy lineups on a quiet Wednesday slate. He carries a 2.49 goals-against average and a .890 save percentage in five starts in 2020-2021.
Tuukka Rask Looks To Continue Domination Of Flyers

Rask's offensive support has been lacking, but he has played great through two appearances in 2021. Fantasy managers can start him with confidence on Thursday night.
