Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Set for matinee road match

Rask will be the road starter in Saturday's matinee against the Sabres, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Analysis:

Rask was a hard-luck loser in his last start, as the Flyers were able to get the best of him in the shootout sequence Tuesday. His upcoming opponent in Buffalo may be sitting in the cellar of the Atlantic Division with 23 points, but second-year phenom Jack Eichel has dropped four points (three goals, one assist) in two games since returning from a high-ankle sprain, and the Sabres secured wins in each of those contests. Rask has been phenomenal with 12 wins and a 1.64 GAA in 17 outings this season, but don't underestimate a hungry Sabres team. If you want alternatives to Rask, there are 11 more goalies on this busy slate.
