Making his third start of the four-game road trip in Nashville on Thursday night, Tuukka Rask went down in complete pain following after taking a Roman Josi shot beneath his goalie mask, right around the collarbone area. Though he got up on his own, Rask skated directly to the locker room for further evaluation.

Zane McIntyre replaced Rask during the first period and helped the B’s stave off the majority of the Predators’ five-minute power play to keep things tied at 0-0 after the opening stanza.
