The backup netminder is this week's Arbella Player of the Week after starting five straight games and registering three wins in a row, which spearheaded the Bruins' recent resurrection following a 10-game losing streak.
The 2005 first-round pick, who now boasts a 13-7-4 record and a 2.09 GAA, earned a shutout in Sunday's 3-0 win over Montreal, then allowed two goals in a 3-2 shootout win over the Sabres on Tuesday. He fell off the wagon a little bit in Thursday's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay, in which the Bruins raced out to a 5-0 lead before allowing the Lightning to score four unanswered goals over the final 40 minutes — but then again, all of the Bruins fell off the wagon a little in that one.
Will Rask earn a sixth straight start on Saturday, when the B's take on the Panthers in their final game before the Olympic break?
Don't be surprised if he does.
