Bruins' Rask out Friday vs. Devils due to illness; Svedberg starting

Tuukka Rask is not in net Friday against the New Jersey Devils due to an illness.

The Boston Bruins netminder was questionable heading into the contest. He was feeling better in the morning, but Bruins coach Claude Julien ruled him out before the start of the game.

Boston recalled Jeremy Smith from the AHL to back up Niklas Svedberg.
