2. Rask is back Jack!

Tuukka Rask definitely didn’t have the best of starts this season. The goaltender was all over the place and wasn’t able to make easy saves. Who can forget him giving up a 5 spot in one and a half periods?

The Tuukka Rask we know and love returned to the ice on Tuesday night.

Rask had a great game stopping 38 shots. He was always in the right position and for the most part, was able to control his rebounds. Still, there were definitely a few times where Rask made you nervous.

Usually, your goaltender is the only guy on the ice making saves, but the Bruins got bailed out twice on Tuesday night. Brandon Carlo played great defense and saved two pucks from going in the net.

If the Boston Bruins can get this Tuukka Rask day in and day out they will be a tough team to beat.
