Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Likely to start Saturday

Rask (groin) will not practice Friday as he's taking a day off for maintenance. Still, David Alter of The Athletic reports the goalie is expected to play against the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Analysis:

Following Wednesday's loss to the Capitals, Rask told reporters, "just popped my groin a little bit," which makes it sound like he's dealt with the sensation in the past and evidently isn't too concerned. The Bruins have yet to call up a third goalie from the minors, further suggesting that Rask should be good to go in this next one. However, we'll let you know if that changes.
