The Boston Bruins will send Tuukka Rask between the pipes as the team hosts the red hot Dallas Stars.�

Dallas has won three games in a row and are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games while Boston is 4-1-0 at home and are looking to avoid their second straight loss.�

The team needs a strong game from Tuukka Rask and also a spark from anybody not on the top line and as almost all the Bruins production has come from Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak.�

"Clearly, if our power play and top line don't score, we have a tough time," Cassidy said after Saturday's loss. "First of all, you have to be cleaner with the puck executing out of your own end ... otherwise you are chasing the game ... you have to get inside a little more, get some second chances."

While Bergeron has six points in his last seven games, Marchand has cooled down a bit with three points in his last six games after registering 12 points during a six game point streak.�

Anton Blidh who was called up earlier today won't jump into the lineup tonight and Matt Grzelcyk will be a game time decision.�

Backup goalie Anton Khudobin gets the start for the Stars.�

Here's a look at tonight's full projected lineups:
