The Boston Bruins have been able to significantly reduce the workload for Tuukka Rask since bringing Jaroslav Halak to the team prior to the 2018-19 season. While Rask is still the starter, Halak has taken over a large portion of games, giving the Bruins a 1A and 1B goaltending tandem.
Halak’s path to the Bruins was filled with ups and downs. His career started with the Montreal Canadiens during the 2006-07 season, but was eventually traded to the St. Louis Blues after the 2009-10 season. Halak bounced around a lot during the 2013-14 season.
