Tuukka Rask makes 25 saves in his 1st game since last June, Boston Bruins win 3-2 over Philadelphia Flyers

BOSTON -- Tuukka Rask was relaxed and relieved after his first game in more than six months.

Rask made 25 saves in his return from hip surgery as the Boston Bruins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Thursday night behind David Pastrnak's hat trick.

"It was great to feel that I had the ability to move both ways," said Rask, who faced very few shots early but stopped all 12 that came his way in the third period.

Rask, the winningest goalie in franchise history, has been rehabbing from surgery last summer to repair a torn labrum.
