Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Signs PTO with Bruins
Rask has signed a professional tryout agreement with the Bruins on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.ca reports.
This is a shocker as Rask retired from the Bruins on Feb. 9. 2022. The 36-year-old netminder spent his entire 15-year NHL career with Boston, after he was drafted in the first round in 2005 by the Maple Leafs. He has hip surgery in July of 2021 to repair a torn labrum, but he had difficulty in his return to action, as he played only four games during the 2021-22 campaign before retiring.

Tuukka Rask: Hangs up skates
Rask announced his retirement from professional hockey Wednesday.
The 34-year-old Finn spent his entire 15-year NHL career in Boston, appearing in 564 regular-season games while posting a 308-165-66 record, 2.28 GAA, .921 save percentage and a whopping 52 shutouts. Rask captured a Vezina Trophy and an Olympic bronze medal in 2014, and he also partook in three Stanley Cup Finals (winning in 2011). Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman will continue to serve as the No. 1 and 2 options between the pipes in Beantown.

Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Out at least one week
Rask (lower body) is set to miss at least a week after coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters the netminder "won't be practicing this week," Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
Rask only re-signed with the Bruins in mid-January after dealing with a hip injury in the offseason and now finds himself sidelined once again. It's unclear if the veteran's lower-body issue is related to his hip problem. In the meantime, Jeremy Swayman was recalled from the minors and will get the start versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Rask (lower body) will not suit up Sunday against Dallas, Kevin Paul Dumont of The Boston Globe reports.
Rask is reportedly still day-to-day with the injury, so it's unclear how long he'll remain sidelined. With Linus Ullmark playing well and Jeremy Swayman a capable No. 2, there's not an immediate need for Rask to rush his return

Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Strong down stretch in win
Rask stopped 22 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
Winnipeg took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission, but Rask stood tall the rest of the way and gave Boston a chance to complete a comeback. The 34-year-old has won two of three starts since returning to the Bruins, and he should continue alternating time in the crease with Linus Ullmark while rounding back into form.

Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Facing Jets on Saturday
Rask will start against visiting Winnipeg on Saturday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Rask has been anything but great in his return to NHL action, allowing seven goals on 39 shots across two appearances. He'll look to shake the rust off against a Jets squad that's averaged a modest 2.83 goals for across six games in January.

Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Gets early hook Tuesday
Rask gave up five goals on 12 shots before being replaced by Linus Ullmark to begin the second period of Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
In only his second start of the season since rejoining the Bruins, Rask got hung out to dry by his defense, and the goaltending switch was more to send a message to the team than about Rask's own performance. He's been alternating starts with Ullmark since being added to the roster, and if the pattern holds Rask might not be between the pipes again until Saturday against the Jets, giving him plenty of time to shake this one off.

Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Signs with Bruins
Rask (hip) signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Boston on Tuesday, PuckPedia reports.
Rask has remain unsigned while recovering from offseason hip surgery, but he recently got into a few games with AHL Providence, indicating he's fully recovered from his hip surgery which led to Tuesday's signing. The 34-year-old netminder was rock solid with the Bruins last season, going 15-5-2 while posting a 2.28 GAA, a .913 save percentage and two shutouts. Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have both played pretty well as Boston's top-two options in goal this season, so at this point it isn't clear how the starts will be distributed between the three netminders going forward.
