Bruce Cassidy on sticking with Tuukka Rask: “No regrets on that.”

There were plenty of people clamoring for Bruce Cassidy to start Jeremy Swayman during the second-round series against the New York Islanders.

Predictably, that clamoring got even louder after the series ended and it was revealed that Tuukka Rask was playing hurt and would need hip surgery.

The guess as to why Cassidy stuck with Rask was that he asked Rask if he was good to go, Rask said yes, and life went on.

Cassidy essentially confirmed that line of thinking during his post-season media availability today.

“He met with us every day: the medical staff, myself, [goaltending coach] Bob [Essensa], to go through his status,” Cassidy said.
