Rask backstops Bruins to 2-0 victory over Oilers

AP

BOSTON (AP) - Rookie Tuukka Rask turned aside 19 shots for his
second shutout in eight NHL starts and Blake Wheeler and Vladimir
Sobotka set each other up for goals to lead the Boston Bruins to a
2-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.

Rask was locked in a scoreless duel with veteran Nikolai
Khabibulin until Wheeler converted on Sobotka's hard work 2:47 into
the third period. Sobotka finished off a 2-on-1 at 7:02.

Daniel Paille assisted on both goals.

Rask was making his fourth start of the season. He gave Boston
its third straight shutout of Edmonton and the Bruins' eighth win
in a row over the Oilers, dating back to 2000. He had blanked the
New York Rangers in his only start last season.
Edmonton has lost four of its last five.
