Tuukka Rask
With a sparser defense in front of him, goalie Tuukka Rask will continue to see more action. But in recent seasons, his goals against average has been going up while his save percentage has gone down—bad signs for the team’s franchise keeper. Hopefully the return of backup Anton Khudobin will provide some much-needed rest for Rask, keeping him fresher for the duration of the season. For the Bruins to have any shot at playing meaningful games in May (aka, the second round of the playoffs), Rask must return to his 2014 self, when he won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie.
