The Boston Bruins have played solid defense for most of the past three weeks. Add in strong goaltending from Tuukka Rask and it has led the way to a nice run.
Ryan Spooner scored twice and Rask stopped 26 shots to lift the host Bruins to a 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
“Tuukka’s been like we’re used to seeing,” Boston coach Claude Julien said. “He’s been solid. There’s no doubt he would have liked that goal back. He played capable enough to deserve a shutout. He’s been solid.
