3. Tuukka Rask needs a wake-up call

I don’t know why, but Tuukka Rask always seems to have poor starts to the season. We saw him struggle in the 2017-18 season and he is doing it again this season.

When you look at Rask’s stats compared to Halak he looks like a dumpster fire. Tuukka has appeared in 5 games and has a goals against average of 3.38 and a save percentage of .901.

Clearly, Rask needs some time to reflect on his performance so far this season. He needs to perform much better. Some time on the bench could probably help Rask a lot.

Rask would be forced to look himself in the mirror and become a better goaltender. This worked last season for the Bruins so I think they should try it again.

Next. Bruins will be shorthanded for awhile. dark

So it is time for Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy to make the change and ride the hot hand, and one of the hottest hands in the entire NHL is Jaroslav Halak.
