Svedberg will start Thursday's game against the Sabres, Amalie Benjamin of The Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

Regular goaltender Tuukka Rask will get the night off after giving up four goals in his last start, so Svedberg will start for the fourth time this season Thursday. He has a very favorable matchup against a Buffalo squad that has lit the lamp just 10 times in 10 games.
