There is a good chance that Tim Thomas is in net tonight, but as Rob and I were talking about earlier I think the better choice is to get Rask some playing time. Thomas could use the rest (just 1-2-0 with a 4.55 goals-against average in his last four games), and the Bruins should be winning these games against shitty team regardless of who is in net. If they can't, what does that say about this team?
Last night the Bruins did what they needed to do. It wasn't a flawless game, but a win is a win, and right now that's what the Bruins need to do against the weak teams. Ottawa has been flat out terrible lately (1-7-2 in their last 10), so Boston needs to take advantage. I get nervous sometimes with back-to-back games, especially against "bad" teams, because there is always that "trap game" feeling, but Ottawa is so bad the Bruins should roll over them.
Plus, the Bruins are a fantastic road team, so I expect an easy win tonight.
Bruins win 5-2
