The Boston Bruins Have Strong Goaltending Options in the Post-Tuukka Rask Era

Daniel Vladar

For the past decade, the Boston Bruins haven’t had to worry too much about their goaltending situation. Tuukka Rask has been one of the best goaltenders over the past decade, winning at least 30 games in all five seasons of his career when starting at least 50 games and even taking home the 2014 Vezina Trophy – and he almost grabbed another one last year, too.

But he’s 34. At some point, Father Time comes calling, and with every injury scare, you just have to wonder how much longer he has left in the Bruins’ crease. Rask has missed the past few days with an “undisclosed” injury, and while nobody has a sense as to how that’ll affect him moving forward, it’s not too early to think about the future.
