This will create a bit of log jam situation for fantasy as the Bruins are now carrying three goalies. Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have both performed well over the season to date. He should be picked up if available.

Rask was put on the shelf as an unrestricted free agent as he underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip over the summer time. He's been rehabilitating at the Bruins practice facility in the mean time. If you have a spare roster space, he's not the worst flier to take on.
