Tuukka Rask has had a rough stretch of late. The Boston Bruins number one goaltender has had to deal with four straight losses. That bad run was added to a reoccurring lower-body injury that kept him out of last Saturday’s game against the New York Islanders. Rask’s most recent absence set off a media and social media firestorm over Rask.
The Finnish netminder had to find a way to silence some of his critics, and he was able to do ease the griping on Tuesday night. Rask made 24 of 25 saves in a 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators.
