Boston Bruins
Rask will start Game 3.
The Bruins had no trouble getting the puck past Lundqvist in Game 2 but at the same time Rask stole the game for the B's. He stopped 35 of 37 shots in the 5-2 win. Both goalies have seen a ton of rubber this series. Lundqvist has faced 80 shots while Rask has seen 72 thrown his way. Another good outing from Rask tonight and the Bruins are just one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals.

Khudobin was off ice about 30 seconds before Rask, and both had stopped taking shots, so can't ID #Bruins goalie for sure.
