The Boston Bruins expect Tuukka Rask to make over 30 saves a game. Rask is on pace to play 70 games, and the risk of burning him out before the playoffs is very high.
The Boston Bruins need Dennis Seidenberg and Adam McQuaid back in the lineup. They provide veteran experience that the young defensemen just don't have yet. They provide Zdeno Chara with much-needed rest in key situations.
The Boston Bruins don't start playing hockey until the second period. They come out flat and expect Tuukka Rask to keep them in the game until they feel like playing.
Chad Johnson has only played in four games this season. While he has been an adequate backup in the games he has played, the Boston Bruins can't expect Tuukka Rask to play in 70 games this year.
Brad Marchand still has yet to produce at the same rate that he did last year. The point production isn't there, and he is not playing with as much fire or intensity as he did last year.
