Cassidy: 'Good chance' Rask starts Thursday vs. Flyers

Tuukka Rask is on the verge of a return, and it could come as soon as his team's next game.

Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters Wednesday there's a "good chance" the veteran goaltender plays Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Rask has been out since Jan. 19, the night he was concussed by Filip Chytil. The New York Rangers forward was pushed into the netminder by Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy after scoring a goal.

Boston lost its only game since that contest, a 4-3 shootout defeat to the Winnipeg Jets, on Tuesday night.

Rask is 14-8-3 with a .919 save percentage in 26 appearances this season.
