Tuukka Rask returns to Boston Bruins on a prorated, $1 million deal

Goaltender Tuukka Rask has signed a prorated, $1 million contract for the rest of the season with the Boston Bruins, the team announced Tuesday.

The 2014 Vezina Trophy winner will make $545,000 for the rest of the season.

Rask, 34, was a free agent who remained unsigned while he recovered from surgery to repair a torn hip labrum. He said at the end of last season that he did not want to play for anyone other than Boston.

"This is our home," he said. "At this point of my life and my career, I don't see any reason to go anywhere else, especially with the health I'm looking at now and a recovery time of five or six months.
