Rask is expected to start Sunday against the Canadiens, Joe Haggerty of CSN New England reports.

Analysis:

Rask bested the Islanders on Friday by setting aside 39 of the 40 shots that came his way. He finished the month of January with a 7-1-3 record, posting a 1.61 GAA and .949 save percentage. He's been nearly as good at the start of February, and will look to keep things rolling with another solid outing in net Sunday, assuming he indeed receives the start.
