Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask did more than beat the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday. When he tosses aside all 25 shots on goal from the Canadiens, he also passed Frank Brimsek on the Bruins all-time shutout leaders in franchise history. Brimsek and Rask were tied in second place with 35 shutouts apiece until Sunday when Rask recorded his 36th career shutout – second only to Cecil “Tiny” Thompson.
Though he passed Brimsek, Rask will have a long way to go to catch Tiny Thompson. The Bruins goalies from the 1928-29 season until the 1938-39 season recorded an outrageous 74 shutouts in just 468 games.
