It’s happening, Bruins fans. Tuukka Rask is about to be back for real.
During a media availability before the Bruins’ game against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night, Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy said he won’t wait too long to see how the veteran netminder fares in goal for his longtime team.
“Our intention is to start Tuukka tomorrow, all things being equal,” Cassidy said. “He’ll have to be ok with that. I believe he is.”
That would bring Rask back to action in front of a hometown crowd as the Bruins take on the Philadelphia Flyers for his first game since Boston was ousted from the Stanley Cup Playoffs last summer.
