Goalie nods: Subban or Rask? Bruins aren’t saying

Intriguing B’s

Tuukka Rask was first off from this morning’s skate but, shortly thereafter, Boston head coach Claude Julien refused to say if it would be Rask or Malcolm Subban in goal tonight versus Edmonton.

There are compelling arguments for both. Subban, Boston’s first-round pick at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, was recalled from AHL Providence yesterday -- where he’s fared remarkably well this season -- and would be making his big-league debut against a relatively weak Oilers team.

Rask, however, is the club’s clear-cut No. 1 at present time and the Bruins are desperate for a win. The team heads into tonight’s contest having lost five of six, sitting just two points up on Florida for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

If we had to guess, it’ll be Rask that gets the nod.

For Edmonton, Ben Scrivens will start.
