Man, apparently the only way Tuukka Rask can get a day off is if he gets sick.
Tuukka Rask is under the weather. He's back at the hotel. Unclear who will be in goal tonight.

Probably saw “highlights” of his defense.
So stepping into goal most likely will be Svedberg who hasn’t been great his last few outings (not that he’s gotten a ton of chances in 2015 either). And recalled to act as the Bruins backup will be Jeremy Smith.
Although he has dressed as an NHL backup for both Nashville and Columbus in previous emergency recalls for both teams, Smith is looking to play his first NHL game.
Smith has played in 26 games for Providence this season accruing a 14-8-4 record, 2.08 goals against average (sixth in the AHL) and a .931 save percentage (fourth in the AHL).
At the American Hockey League level, Smith has a record of 101-68-15 in 184 games, recording a career 2.32 goals against average and .915 save percentage.
Bruins face the Devils tonight.
