Tuukka Rask continues to be a Vezina award candidate.
After blowing two third period leads, Rask stood on his head in overtime, which propelled the Bruins to their first win of the season.
Rask flashed the blocker against Kyle Palmieri, who waltzed to the net after a breakaway attempt with so much time and space between the closest defender that he could have stopped for drive-thru and still gotten off a shot. Rask also made keys stops against Egor Sharangovich and later Jack Hughes at the final horn, ensuring that the Bruins advanced to a shootout. Scoreless through five total attempts, Brad Marchand slid the rubber through Mackenzie Blackwood’s legs to reward the Bruins with two points.
