Jaroslav Halak had a bad night on Thursday, allowing seven goals as Boston lost 7-2 to the New York Islanders, but Tuukka Rask will be in net tonight. He has a 7-2-1 record and a 2.56 goals-against average, and he has won four of his last five starts, including a 3-2 overtime win against the Rangers on Feb. 10. New York has lost five of its last seven games, including 4-3 against Philadelphia on Wednesday. Boston has won the last six meetings, including both this season, and the Bruins are 9-3 their last 12 games versus teams with losing records. The Rangers are 6-15 their last 21 games overall and 3-11 as underdogs, 1-4 as home dogs. Also, New York has lost its last four home games. Play the Bruins.
