The Boston Bruins will look to win their fifth straight game Wednesday night on the road.

The Bruins visit Scotiabank Saddledome to take on the Calgary Flames, who are coming off a 3-2 overtime win against the Colorado Avalanche.

Tuukka Rask will get the start in net after saving 32 of 34 shots in Boston’s 8-2 thumping of the Detroit Red Wings on Oct. 13. After a rough Opening Night, the netminder rebounded to win his next two starts.

As for the lines, head coach Bruce Cassidy isn’t making any changes from the game against Detroit. Joakim Nordstrom will remain on the second line at left wing, while Anders Bjork and Ryan Donato will be on either side of David Backes on the third line.
