Tuukka Rask and Jake DeBrusk will not play against the Pittsburgh Penguins at TD Garden on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; SNE, SNO, SNP, NESN, ATTSN-PT, ESPN+, NHL.TV).
Rask, a goalie, made 28 saves in a 3-2 overtime win against Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
"Tuukka, given a day off," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "Obviously after the first goal (Tuesday), was in a little discomfort, was able to finish the game. So not feeling 100 percent today. We kept him off the ice. And then, as I said, we'll go with [Jaroslav Halak] tomorrow and then hopefully Tuukka's ready for Saturday in Washington."
DeBrusk, a forward, did not play after the first period because of a lower-body injury.
"He will not play tomorrow," Cassidy said. "We'll go from there. We'll list him as day to day. If we have anything better tomorrow, we'll let you know."
Defenseman Matt Grzelcyk, who has missed the past two games, could return Thursday.
"He looks like he's trending well, so hopefully he's back tomorrow," Cassidy said. "We'll see about that." -- Amalie Benjamin
