Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston: Goaltender Tuukka Rask could return from his “concussion protocol” this weekend. He could return to practice today barring any setbacks in the past 24 hours.
“He’s in the protocol and progressing well,” said coach Bruce Cassidy. “He’ll probably join us for the next step if there are no ill effects from today. That’s a positive. If there are no setbacks, I think Saturday is a more realistic .”
Rask was hit by teammate Anders Bjork in practice last week.
