The Boston Bruins are two games deep in the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Tuukka Rask isn't buying it.
The Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes are all knotted up at one game apiece. And this may be a long series.
For the Bruins, the words "unfit to participate" reared their ugly heads on Thursday night, shortly before puck dropped for Game 2 against the Hurricanes, and it regarded their leading goal scorer, David Pastrnak.
The Boston Bruins are sending their best wishes to former head coach Claude Julien, who will miss the rest of Montreal's first-round series against Philadelphia after being taken to a Toronto hospital with chest pain on Wednesday.
With a rare playoff back-to-back, there isn't much time between Games 1 and 2 of the Bruins-Hurricanes playoff series. But in the brief 30-hour window between games, Carolina took care of some business.
Roughly 24 hours ago, Tuukka Rask wrapped up a 25-save effort for the Bruins in a Game 1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. He'll be back in net for Boston in just a few hours for Game 2.
After losing a challenge and losing the game in double overtime, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour was heated.
Here's a quick-hit run-through the highs and lows from the Bruins' 4-3 double-OT win over the Hurricanes.
Look out, NHL. The Bruins' top line has awoken.
It took until double overtime, but the Boston Bruins finally have themselves a victory. And this one counted.
Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk has had a somewhat frustrating time in the NHL's bubble in Toronto. He took those frustrations out on his stick midway through Wednesday's Game 1 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"It's unique all around this year."
The Blue Jackets and Lightning played the fourth-longest game in NHL history on Tuesday night. It postponed the Bruins' game, but it also generated some eye-popping statistics.
The bubble does have some drawbacks. Sharing a rink is one of them.
On Monday, Tuukka Rask and David Pastrnak were both deemed "Unfit to Participate" in practice. On Tuesday, they'll both be on the ice for the Bruins in Game 1 against the Hurricanes.
