Bet Today’s Bruins vs. Blackhawks Game
Tuukka Rask will start in net for the Bruins after he picked up the win in a 6-5 victory on Friday night in St. Louis. He now has 30 wins for the third straight season and Friday night marked his 100th victory over that span. Rask wasn’t great in St. Louis, but his offense finally stepped up against a red-hot Brian Elliott and the Bruins were able to hold on to the win.
Chicago will counter with Scott Darling, who is coming off a 28-save effort in the Blackhawks’ 5-4 overtime win over the Jets on Friday. Darling was bailed out by his offense after he made just 28 of 32 saves in the victory. He’s allowed 14 goals in his last five games as the Hawks couldn’t get Corey Crawford back soon enough.
