Bruins' Rask: 'Probably could have stopped more pucks with my eyes closed'
by from on (#3NBQR)
Tuukka Rask put on a performance Saturday that he'll want to forget.
In Game 5 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Boston Bruins netminder allowed four goals on just 13 shots before getting the hook midway through the second period.
The veteran blamed himself for the 4-3 loss that saw the Maple Leafs close in on the Bruins' 3-2 series lead.
"(I) probably could have stopped more pucks with my eyes closed," Rask told Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com. "It's on me."
Backup Anton Khudobin came into the game in relief of Rask, turning aside eight shots, but the Bruins couldn't overcome the Maple Leafs' early lead.
Game 6 goes Monday in Toronto.
