Tuukka Rask had a relatively smooth journey in his return to the Boston Bruins net.
Rask’s off-season hip surgery prompted some uncertainty. But a smooth recovery and rehab placed him on track to return to Boston’s net ahead of schedule.
The Bruins sent Rask to Providence after sharing reps at practice with Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman during his on-ice rehab. But a COVID-19 outbreak within the Leigh Valley Phantoms prevented Rask from suiting up for the P-Bruins for the first time in 13 years.
The Bruins signed Rask to a one-year deal worth $1 million on Tuesday.
