Is Rask still Boston bound?
The Boston Bruins signed Linus Ullmark during the off-season hoping that the Swedish net minder would be the heir to the Bruins net, but so far things haven't worked out that way. Ullmark has started the season with a 5-4-0 record and a S% of .911 but for a team used to having a player like Tuukka Rask in goal this just won't cut it.
On Saturday, the Boston Bruins insider Fluto Shinzawa from The Athletic reported that Rask was back on the ice at the Bruins practice facility. This is something he has done over the last few weeks, but the big difference? Today he was accompanied by Bruins goalie coach Bob Essensa and skating and skills coach Kim Brandvold before Bruins morning skate.
It appears more and more likely that Rask is preparing for a mid-season return to action. With the Bruins currently sitting 5th in the Atlantic I'm sure they'll take all the help they can get.
This is a situation to monitor as I'm sure the Bruins will try and avoid trying to carry 3 goalies on their NHL roster, but also likely want to avoid sending Swayman back to Providence as he's proven he's an NHL goaltender.
