5. Tuukka is looking great

It has taken some time for Tuukka Rask to settle in, but the goaltender is settling in and performing well.

Now when you see that Rask gave up 3 goals you are inclined to think that he had a bad game but that isn’t the case.

Rask stopped 30 shots which is an impressive number, but he can’t be blamed for a majority of the goals that were scored. The Coyotes had some puck luck and some bad bounces and deflections led to some goals being scored.

Thankfully for the Bruins and Rask, Boston’s offense was on fire.

The Bruins are heating up when the team needed to. They are stepping up in a big way without some great players. Imagine how good they will be when Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara return.
