Tuukka Rask Gets Nod For Saturday, Anton Khudobin To Start Sunday
7 years agoThe Boston Bruins will play a home-and-home series versus the Chicago Blackhawks this weekend, and have announced that goaltenders Tuukka Rask and Anton Khudobin will start on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Rask played in his first game since March 1st on Thursday, returning from a minor injury to make 31 saves and defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2. Khudobin, Boston’s No. 2 goaltender, has made two starts in the last week while Rask was out. The backup posted a 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on March 3rd and then earned a 6-5 overtime win against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. With Khudobin being named the starter for Sunday’s match against Chicago, it certainly creates an opportunity for any fantasy owner in need of a late-week, strong goaltending start. The 31-year-old Russian is available in 71% of Yahoo leagues and could earn your team a win with a solid performance being probable against a struggling Blackhawks team.
