Tuukka Rask - G - Bruins

The Boston Bruins' offensive outburst overshadows the fact that Tuukka Rask had another great performance in a 5-2 win against the New York Rangers in Game 2 on Sunday.

Rask has now won three games in a row. Rask now has nearly the same save percentage (.928) as he did during his excellent regular season (.929). It's getting tougher and tougher to deny that Rask is one of the better options among goalies, even if he isn't as flashy as Tim Thomas.

Jaromir Jagr - W - Bruins

Jaromir Jagr remains snakebitten as he was unable to score a goal against the New York Rangers even as the Boston Bruins won 5-2 in Game 2.

Jagr hasn't scored a point in this series after having four assists in the Bruins' seven-game series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Patrice Bergeron set him up for a great chance late in the third, but Henrik Lundqvist (or the post) prolonged his frustrations.

Patrice Bergeron - C - Bruins

Patrice Bergeron is on fire, continuing his scoring streak from that breakout performance in Game 7 of the Boston Bruins' first-round series.

He now has points in three straight games as he had two assists in Game 2, including setting up a big Brad Marchand goal that gave Boston key insurance in an eventual 5-2 win. David Krejci also had a pair of apples while Marchand had a two-point output as well (1G, 1A).

Torey Krug - D - Bruins

It's obvious that Torey Krug is feeling it as he begins his playoff career.

He now has a goal in both of his first two postseason contests and added an assist for a two-point afternoon on Sunday. He was a big part of the Boston Bruins' 5-2 win against the New York Rangers in Game 2 and it's hard to imagine him losing his spot when the veteran defensemen are ready to return.

Dennis Seidenberg - D - Bruins

The Boston Bruins will be without defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Wade Redden during Sunday's Game 2 against the New York Rangers.

Seidenberg was ruled out by Saturday, but Redden seemed like he had a chance to return. We'll see if either player can make it for Game 3 on Tuesday.

Tuukka Rask - G - Bruins

Tuukka Rask and the Bruins are certainly not looking past the New York Rangers despite winning Game One of their playoff series.

"There were a couple of shifts where we couldn’t get the puck out of our end," Rask said. "We couldn’t get a change, and we had to ice it a couple of times. They’re big guys, they’re strong guys. When they play down low, they’re pretty tough to strip of the puck. It’s a big challenge for us." The Bruins definitely appear to have momentum on their side after their stunning Game Seven comeback against Toronto, but shouldn't ignore the fact the Rangers came back from 2-0 series deficit to defeat the Capitals in the first round.

Dennis Seidenberg - D - Bruins

Dennis Seidenberg's (lower body) probably won't return on Sunday.

Seidenberg was on the ice prior to the Bruins' practice on Saturday. "I don’t know the situation with him, with Seidenberg obviously doing better," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "I don’t anticipate him being ready for [Sunday], but with the injury he’s got, you never know."

Dougie Hamilton - D - Bruins

Bruins coach Claude Julien is very pleased with how Dougie Hamilton has handled himself in the playoffs.

At the age of 19, Hamilton has participated in four postseason contests. "[The] playoffs is another step, and he’s taking that step extremely well, to me," Julien said. "[In Game 1] he was making good decisions, playing with Chara, sometimes against their top line. To be able to put him out there against the other team’s top line shows that we do have confidence in him." Hamilton had an assist and a plus-two rating in 20:45 minutes of playing time in Game 1 of the Bruins' second-round series against the Rangers.

Ference hasn't resumed skating yet. He had 13 points and 35 penalty minutes in 48 regular season games.

Wade Redden - D - Bruins

Wade Redden (undisclosed) practiced with his Bruin teammates Saturday and he might be a game-time decision for Sunday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

We will update you as to Redden's status on Sunday.

Zdeno Chara - D - Bruins

Zdeno Chara has been logging a ridiculous amount of ice time in the Bruins' eight playoff games to date.

He has averaged 30:02 minutes per game, tops in the NHL and a full two minutes more than second place Drew Doughty of the Kings. In Boston's last two games, both first-period overtime victories, Chara has been on the ice for an astounding 73:48. Needless to say, the 6'7" rearguard is running on all cylinders now.

Claude Julien - C - Bruins

The Bruins are perfect in overtime so far this post-season.

Boston defeated Toronto twice in the first round of the playoffs and won Thursday's game in the extra frame against the Rangers. The Bruins' Gregory Campbell attributes his team's 3-0 record to being aggressive. "The approach in overtime is you have to put your best foot forward right off the bat, and you can’t sit back and wait to see what they’re going to bring," said Campbell. "The next goal is going to win, obviously. . . . It’s really important to really go after them and not sit back, and I think so far we’ve done a good job at that. We saw it as an opportunity and we took it." Conversely, the Rangers have yet to win in three tries in overtime.

Torey Krug - D - Bruins

Although he is only 5'9", Bruins' rookie defenseman Torey Krug should not be underestimated physically.

He tossed 6'7" Brian Boyle into the net during Thursday's overtime win against the Rangers and did not back down from any of the larger New York players. "He’s a strong, stocky little kid," said teammate Matt Bartkowski. "He’s got a good frame and a good base and he’s strong for his size, so it really doesn’t surprise me that he’s able to stand in there and toss (Rangers forward Brian) Boyle into the net". Krug is a strong offensive player so the fact he can take care of himself on the ice as well makes him a potential fantasy asset going forward.

Wade Redden - D - Bruins

Wade Redden (undisclosed) hasn't been ruled out for Game 2 on Sunday.

"There is a possibility. That much I can say," Bruins coach Claude Julien said of Redden's status as well as the availability of defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Andrew Ference. Redden missed the Bruins' morning skate on Thursday and the team didn't practice on Friday.

Andrew Ference - D - Bruins

Andrew Ference (lower body) might be available for Game 2 on Sunday.

Bruins coach Claude Julien said it was too early to say for sure, but he wouldn't rule out the possibility. Ference has missed the Bruins' last three games due to the ailment.
