Tuukka Rask, a UFA goaltender, is anticipated to miss the rest of 2021 due to hip surgery to repair a ruptured labrum, but he should be cleared to return to hockey in early 2022 if he so desires.
Well, according to Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy, Rask still has plenty of game left in him and could be a very good NHL goalie if he returns. Cassidy made the remarks on TSN 1200 in Ottawa.
Rask, a 14-year NHL veteran, has stated that he has no interest of signing anyplace else at this point in his career.
Linus Ullmark inked a 4-year, $20M ($5M AAV) agreement with the Bruins earlier this offseason to replace Rask as starter, with 22-year-old Jeremy Swayman expected to be the backup.
