General soreness will keep Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask from dressing Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Finn is feeling better, head coach Claude Julien said, and is considered day to day early in the season.
The Bruins summoned Zane McIntyre from the farm on an emergency basis, and he'll likely back up Anton Khudobin against the Habs.
Rask is 3-0 with a .947 save percentage this season, while Khudobin was beat four times on only 24 shots in his one game.
