CSNNE.comNASHVILLETuukka Rask stole Tuesday nights game for the Bruins in Columbus against the Blue Jackets, and Claude Julien will go with the hot hand and start Rask again for a second straight time against the Predators at Bridgestone Arena.Rask has won five of his last six starts, and is 6-2 in his last eight starts for the Bruins while his records creeps closer to .500 with a 10-12-1 mark.The game will match Rask against another fine young Finnish goalie in Preds netminder Pekka Rinne, who boasts a 2.09 goals against average and a .929 save percentage this season in Nashville.The lines are as follows:
Lucic-Krejci-Horton
Recchi-Bergeron-Ryder
Seguin-Kelly-Peverley
Paille-Campbell-ThorntonIt appears that Andrew Ference might sit out one more game as he recovers from a lower body injury, and the Bruins will go with a 100 percent healthy Steve Kampfer in the lineup against Nashville.
