BRIGHTON — Life without Tuukka Rask has been pretty rough early on in the 2016-17 season. For the time being, the Bruins and their fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
After missing the last three games due to a lower body (hamstring), Rask joined his teammates in practice for the first time since last week at Warrior Ice Arena. The Finnish goalie started his session with goaltending coach Bob Essensa before the full team practice and looked fairly comfortable during Friday’s drills.
Though a starter has not been named for Saturday’s game against the Red Wings — the second of a four-game road trip — Rask will be traveling with the team in Detroit.
