Tuukka Rask is ready to return.

The Boston Bruins goaltender will play Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, his head coach, Bruce Cassidy, confirmed on game day.

Rask missed Tuesday night's shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets and most of Boston's defeat at the hands of the New York Rangers on Jan. 19 after being concussed by Rangers forward Filip Chytil, who crashed into Rask after scoring.

The veteran netminder has a .919 save percentage on the season, and he's gone 6-0-1 with a .939 mark in his last eight appearances.
