Morning Skate: Guess who?
Tuesday is upon us, folks — another off day for the Bruins before returning to action in Vancouver tomorrow night.
The Bruins had a familiar face present again at practice on Monday:
Reports indicated that Linus Ullmark was unavailable due to a non-COVID illness, so Tuukka Rask subbed in.
(As a side note, I’ve been sick with something non-COVID since Friday. There’s some nasty bugs going around right now.)
Because Rask isn’t under contract with another NHL team, he’s free to serve as the emergency back-up for the Bruins, similar to teams grabbing a guy out of the stands.
Still, you have to think this EBUG was allowing drastically fewer goals than EBUGs before him.
