Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask has opted out of the remainder of the NHL season, the team announced Saturday morning.
"I want to be with my teammates competing, but at this moment there are things more important than hockey in my life, and that is being with my family," Rask said in a statement. "I want to thank the Bruins and my teammates for their support and wish them success."
Rask and his wife welcomed their third daughter, Livia, in April.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said Saturday that Rask's family is healthy, and the 33-year-old's departure is not linked to a specific incident.
