Center Patrice Bergeron and goaltender Tuukka Rask are expected to play despite missing practice Friday. "We'll probably have to make a game-time decision. But they both look fine. I would say likely," coach Claude Julien said. Bergeron, who has two goals and three assists during a four-game point streak, injured his right leg blocking Matt Niskanen's shot during the third period of a 5-3 loss at the Washington Capitals on Wednesday. "I felt better today. So it was a lot better than it was in the third period when I tried to go back out there," Bergeron said. "There should be a good chance [I'll play]." Rask will make his 12th straight start despite apparently sustaining an injury late in the third period in Washington. The Bruins had won three in a row prior to their loss to the Capitals and are beginning a season-long four-game homestand leading up to their five-day bye. "It's really big, obviously," Rask said. "We've got to realize the standings, where they are, where we are, and they have, like a lot of other teams, games in hand on us. So we're trying to gain some ground and especially for our own sake get us on a roll and kind of get on a point streak after a loss." The Bruins are two points behind the Ottawa Senators for second place in the Atlantic Division, but the Senators have five games in hand.
