4. Tuukka Rask is on fire

If you aren’t a fan of Tuukka Rask I hope you haven’t been watching him lately because the goalie is actually tearing it up. Tuesday was another great performance.

Rask shutout the Wild and made some great saves early on. You could tell from the start that Rask was going to have a good game. He was just on top of everything.

Currently, Rask is on a 4 game winning streak and now has 12-8-2 record with a .920 save percentage and a 2.43 goals against average.

If Rask continues to play like this the Bruins will be a hard team to beat. A great goaltender can propel a team to success they could have never imagined. With how good a team Boston is, I think the Bruins have a good shot at winning the Stanley Cup.

Tuukka Rask is showing people around the NHL world why he deserves that big contract he has.
