COMMENTARY
The Boston Bruins limped into their bye week having lost four of their last six games. But the break comes at a pretty good time as the injury-plagued Bruins heal from their ailments.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy has done an admirable job guiding the team through injuries and inconsistent scoring outside of Boston’s potent top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and first-time all-star David Pastrnak. But the fourth-year bench boss may have to dig deep again with Tuukka Rask in concussion protocol.
Rask’s status is one of a few burning questions facing the Bruins when they return to the ice Tuesday night against the high-octane Winnipeg Jets.
