Victor Rask was on a stationary bike within minutes after the Carolina Hurricanes’ 2-1 overtime loss Friday to the Colorado Avalanche.
Rask’s head was down and his face flushed as he pedaled away in a postgame workout.
“Flushing it out,” he said Saturday.
Rask was a part of the decisive play in overtime. The Canes center took a pass from defenseman Ron Hainsey just over the Colorado blue line and made a move up the right boards, only to fumble the puck and have it knocked away by Avs center Matt Duchene.
In a flash, Duchene was headed up ice on a two-on-one rush.
