As expected, Rask (illness) is not available for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Senators, ESPN's Joe McDonald reports.

Analysis:

Rask came down with an illness during pregame warmups and was a late scratch ahead of the contest, which has playoff implications for the B's. The Finn's regular-season campaign comes to a close having posted a 31-22-8 record, 2.56 GAA and .915 save percentage through 64 games. By several accounts, and compared to his last few campaigns, it's been a down year for the 29-year-old netminder.
