Bruins' Tuukka Rask returns from leave of absence

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask has returned to the team after taking a leave of absence for a personal matter.

Rask missed Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs and Sunday's victory over the Golden Knights.

The 31-year-old Rask only said that the leave was due to a family matter.

"I have a job. My job is to be a hockey goalie for the Boston Bruins and I also have another job title and that's a family man," Rask said, according to NHL.com. "And this was a time when deep inside my heart I felt like I needed to take time to be with my family and make things right so I can be back here and focus on my job.
