One Good Thing Going for the Bruins

From great friend of the blog James Murphy at NHL.com:

The Boston Bruins are being amply rewarded for their patience with goaltender Tuukka Rask.

The 23-year-old Finnish goaltender appears to have taken the starting job away from reigning Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas. Rask won his last four starts before the Olympic break, on the season he’s 16-10-4, and is first in the NHL with a 2.12 goals-against average and is tied for second in save percentage at .928. All indications are he will play the majority of the Bruins’ 12 remaining regular-season games and possibly the playoffs, should the Bruins get there.

“He’s played well for us,” coach Claude Julien said. “He’s done exactly what we expected him to do this year, coming in and being ready when called upon. I think he’s done a great job.”
