Tuukka Rask Turns Rough Start Into Decent Game
7 years agoBoston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask allowed two goals on Tampa Bay’s first five shots in Wednesday’s Game 3 loss, including a goal on the Lightning’s first shot of the game. Rask was able to right the ship, finishing the game making 33 saves on 36 shots, including seven saves while Boston was short-handed. Despite his better play as the game progressed, the game was evidently too far gone, as the Bruins mustered just a single goal in response. Tampa Bay looks to be finding a foothold in the series, which could spell trouble for Rask’s value in DFS. The loss was just his second at TD Garden this postseason and it should fuel the fire for Boston to come out strong in Game 4. However, Rask’s stats in the playoffs have lacked the consistency one would need to feel confident in starting him every game.
