Tuukka Rask Speaks on his rehab "I feel great"
Good News to all you Boston Bruins fans out there, Tuukka Rask signs an AHL tryout contract with the Boston Bruins AHL affiliate Providence Bruins reported from Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.
"We have a plan in place. It shouldn't be an issue. Next week, I should be with the big guys," said Rask, indicating he'll only need one or two games in the AHL before returning.
The Bruins will have some decisions to make with their other Goaltenders Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman who have been holding it down in net this season.
Rask said he hasn't spoken to either goalie about their peculiar situation.
"I didn't feel like I needed to go talk to them," he said. "Maybe we'll have a conversation with them next week. Who knows?"
Rask is Boston's all time leader in wins with a record of 306-163-66. He won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender in 2014 and was a finalist for the award in 2020. He's played in 104 playoff games for Boston, twice leading them to the Stanley Cup Final in 2013 and 2019.
Rask talked on reunion with Bergeron, Pastrnak, and Marchand was motivation on his return "That's why I didn't want to flirt with the opportunity to go anywhere else," Rask said. "It's a business, but for us players to have a team like the Bruins and a bunch of us have grown up together here you feel that brotherhood and you don't want to leave on bad terms. I just wanted to come back and maybe finish it up with a bunch of those guys who I played with my whole career."
For those that don't remember Tuuka Rask was a Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick they traded away for Andrew Raycroft a Trade I'm sure Leaf fans won't ever forget.
