Facing a Hot Goaltender
The Boston Bruins come in also following a victory vs. the Red Wings, as Bruins goalie Tuuka Rask made his return after missing the past three games with body soreness. Rask however showed no signs of rust, as he made 24 saves in a 1-0 shutout.
Bruins’ center Tim Schallers’ late second period goal proved to be the winner. The Bruins have won all three games in which Rask has started.
The Panthers will look to flip last years season series script, as they lost three out of four games against the Bruins in 2015, including both games at home.
