Boston Bruins: Gustavsson the key to the Bruins success

What is the biggest difference between last years Bruin’s team that missed the playoffs and this year’s team that is currently in the top seed in the eastern conference? One man Jonas Gustavsson, back up goaltenders tend to be under rated and most often enough fail to get the respect that they deserve. Last year the Boston Bruins had Niklas Svedberg as their back up goal tender a player who played his way out of the NHL and is currently playing in the KHL. Gustavsson has given Tuukka Rask the rest he needs on back to back nights a luxury that he was often denied last season when Svedberg was the back up.
