You need not look to far for evidence of this; the first exhibit being the way that the Boston Bruins were beaten by the league’s worst side on the weekend. All on the back of Jaroslav Halak being too ill to play and Tuukka Rask having to go back-to-back.
The Boston Bruins, on any normal back-to-back, know they can rely on Jaroslav Halak stepping up, stepping in and giving a performance that is the equal of several first-choice goalies in the NHL.
Among goalies that have played ten games or more this season, Tuukka Rask is number two in save percentage.
